Only a Lonely Man Would Know

Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh baby I'm so lonely, so lonely, so lonely, baby [Verse 1] Once I thought all the love was a toy For girls and boys I never gave my heart No, I just played the part right from the start Then there was you, sweet you, girl With love that I knew, I knew was true But in my pride, I left you, baby Just hanging on 'til your love was gone But now I know what I was too slow in learning Yes, I know, now that I'm all alone and my heart is yearning [Chorus] Only a lonely man would know Ever, ever understand the pain I feel inside Girl, since I've lost your lovin' Since you said goodbye [Verse 2] Foolishly, so foolishly, woman, I broke your heart And now that we're apart In my lonely, lonely room, you know that I just reminisce, girl Long for your kiss And through my lonely, lonely tears I can see ahead long lonely years Without your love Don't you know, don't you know that my world's at an end Black closing in, girl Now I know, yeah, yeah, I was too slow in learning But now I know Hey 'cause I'm all alone and my heart is yearning [Chorus] Only, only, only a lonely man would ever Understand the pain that I feel inside Since I lost your love Since you said goodbye, girl Only a, only a lonely man could ever, ever Understand, hey, the hurt inside I've caused my pride, oh [Outro] Ask any lonely man you see, baby Walk right up and ask him Just ask a lonely man like me now, honey Yeah, only (Only a lonely man would know) Only a lonely man would ever understand (Only a lonely man would know) All the pain I feel inside Don't you know I lost your love
