[Verse 1]
Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small café
The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be

[Verse 2]
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care

[Verse 3]
And you recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new
It well could be the one time
A hopeless, little dream like that comes true

[Verse 4]
If you find love, hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it's gone, you'll know the loneliness
The heartbreak only the lonely know
