Only The Lonely Lyrics
Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right
There goes my heart
They've gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely know why
I cry only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You've got to take if you're lonely
Heartbreak
Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right
There goes my heart
They've gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely know why
I cry only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You've got to take if you're lonely
Heartbreak
Only the lonely

man Roy had a great voice. Great song topic. "Only the lonely know why I cry" that's totally simple yet astoundingly creative
I believe that this was roys first big hit.... amazing voice.
Awesome song enough said...
typo's missed out the line "there goes my baby", fifth line.
this is a great song. This is the song Bruce Springsteen references in ThunderRoad with the line "Roy Orbison singin' for the lonely." Chris Isaak does a great cover of this song
dont know about isaak but orbison and this song are great
