Roy Orbison - Only the Lonely Lyrics

Artist: Roy Orbison

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Joe Melson, Roy Orbison

(Dum-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
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight
(Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

And there goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever, so far apart

But only the lonely
Know why I cry, only the lonely
(Dum-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
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I've been through
(Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

And maybe tomorrow a new romance
No more sorrow, but that's the chance
You've got to take

If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
(Dum-dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
