Only a Lonely Man Would Know Lyrics

Ooh, once I thought that love was a toy for girls and boys
I never gave my heart, I just played the part right from the start
Then there was you, sweet you, with love that I knew, I knew was true
But in my pride, I left you, baby
For just hanging on, now love is gone

Oh, only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I′ve cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I lost you, darling, since you said goodbye
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I let my pride make a fool of me

Ask any lonely man you see, darling (Ask them, baby, ask them, baby)
Walk over and ask any lonely man like me
Baby (Ask them, baby, ask them, baby)

Ooh, foolishly, girl, I broke your heart, now we're apart
Now in my lonely room I just reminisce long for your kiss
And through my lonely tears I can see ahead long, lonely years
Without your love, my world, my world′s at an end, black's closing in

Now I know, oh, but I was too slow in learning
Oh, now I know, now that I'm all alone, my heart is yearning, oh

Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I′ve cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I lost you, darling, since you said goodbye

Ask any lonely man you see, baby (Ask them, baby, ask them, baby)
Go on and ask him, baby (Only a lonely man would know)
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I′ve cried (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I lost you, darling, since you said
Goodbye, woo (Only a lonely man would know)

Only a lonely man would know
All the hurt inside of me (Only a lonely man would know)
Since I let my pride make a fool of me (Only a lonely man would know)
