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 behind
Just hanging on now love is gone
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've lost you darling (Know, know, know)
Since you said goodbye
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've let my pride make a fool of me (Know, know, know)
Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby, hurt me baby)
Ask any lonely person like me (Hurt me baby, hurt me baby)
Foolishly girl
I broke my heart
Now we're apart
Now in my lonely room
I just reminisce
Long for your kiss
And through my lonely fears
I see straight ahead
Long, lonely years
Without your love
My world, my world's at an end
Blank's closing in
Now I know
What I was too slow in learning
Now I know
Now that I'm all alone and yearning
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've lost you darling (Know, know, know)
Since you said goodbye
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've let my pride make a fool of me (Know, know, know)
Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby, hurt me baby)
Only a lonely man would know (Every night, I'm just so sad)
The hurt inside of me, me, of me (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've let my pride make a fool of me (Know, know, know)
Ooh, Only a lonely man would know (Only a lonely man)
The bitter tears I've cried, I've cried,
I've cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I've lost you darling (Know, know, know)
Since you said goodbye
