Only the Lonely (Know How I Feel)

Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 2 in 1960)

(Dum-dum-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

Know the way I feel tonight

Only the lonely

Know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby, there goes my heart

They're gone forever, so far apart

But only the lonely know wh-y-y I cry--only the lonely

Only the lonely

Know the heartaches I've been through

Only the lonely

Know I cry and cry for you

Maybe tomorrow a new romance

No-o-o more sorrow, but that's the chance

You've got to ta-a-a-ake, if your lonely heart breaks

Only the lonely

(Roy Orbison and Joe Melson)
