Only a Lonely Man Would Know

Ooh, once I thought that

Love was a toy for girls and boys

I never gave my heart

I just played the part right from the start

Then there was you, sweet you

With a love that I knew, I knew was true

But in my pride, I left you, baby

Oh, just hangin' on, now love has gone

Oh, only a lonely man would know

The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'

Since you said goodbye

Only a lonely man would know

The hurt inside of me, since I left my pride

Make a fool of me

Ask any lonely man, you see, darlin'

Walk up and ask any lonely man like me, baby

Ooh, foolishly girl, I broke your heart

Now we're apart

Now, in my lonely room, I

Just reminisce, long for your kiss

And through my lonely tears

I can see ahead long lonely years

Without your love

My world, my world's at an end

Blinds closin' in, now, I know

Oh, what I was too slow in learnin'

Oh, now I know

No that I'm all alone, my heart is yearnin'

Oh, only a lonely man would know

The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'

Since you said goodbye

Ask any lonely man, you see, baby

Go on and ask him, baby

Only a lonely man would know

The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'

Since you said goodbye

Ooh, only a lonely man would know

The hurt inside
