When I look into your tearful eyes

I don't know what to do

And though you say that I don't realize

I sympathize with you



Lonely you, only you

Yes I do

Lonely you, only you

Lonely you



When I ask you just to be my friend

I want to lend a hand

But if we get too close, it's sure to end

Oh, can't you understand?



Lonely you, only you

Yes it will

Lonely you, only you

Lonely you



We really need a friend

And friends are hard to find

And harder still to keep

Lonely you

Lonely me



[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]



Lonely you, only you

Yes it will

Lonely you, only you

Lonely you



Lonely you

Lonely you.
