Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 2 in 1960)

Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson

(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-dummy doo-wah)

Know the way I feel tonight (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)

Only the lonely (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

Know this feeling ain't right (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

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

(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-dummy doo-wah)

Know the heartaches I've been through (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah

Only the lonely (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

Know I cry and cry for you (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)

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 (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
