Sonny James – Only the Lonely Lyrics

(Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely, only the lonely)
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain’t right (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They’re gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know wh-why-why I cry, only the lonely
(Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely, only the lonely)
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I’ve been through (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Maybe tomorrow a new romance
No-o-o more sorrow, but that’s the chance
You’ve got to take, if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
