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
