I’ve noticed lonely
people all my life
Kids without a sweetheart
An old man without a wife
But I never paid much mind
Till I lost you
Now I’ve just learned
What lonely people do

What do lonely people do
They cry cry cry
No one seems to notice
They just walk on by
But when you cry
you cry alone
That’s true so true
It’s so sad what
lonely people do

Lonely people phones
don’t never ring
They sit and wait for letters
The postman never brings
When they go out they might
As well of stayed at home
For lonely people
just get left alone

What do lonely people do
They cry, cry, cry
No one seems to notice
They just walk on by
But when you cry
you cry alone
That’s true so true
Oh it’s so sad what
lonely people do

What do lonely people do
They cry, cry, cry
No one seems to notice
They just walk on by
But when you cry
you cry alone
That’s so true so true
It’s so sad what
lonely people do

And that’s how it’s been
Since I lost you
It’s so sad what
lonely people do
