[Verse 1]
Lonely boy, sad of eyes
Have you forgotten how to smile?
Has someone hurt you so
That life's not worthwhile anymore?
[Chorus]
Gee, it seems a shame you passed me by
You never hear me cry
That I'm lonely too
My lonely boy
[Verse 2]
Walkin' slow, hurt inside
Crying tears you're trying not to show
I watch you go, and I long to show
To show you that I need you so
[Chorus]
I'd gladly share your [?], can make you see
That here stands someone who cares
My lonely boy (Ha!)
[Bridge]
Gotta find a way, find a way to say
Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy
Gotta find a way, find a way to say
Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy
[Chorus]
Gee, it seems a shame you passed me by
You nеver hear me cry
That I'm lonеly too
My lonely boy (Ha!)
[Outro]
(Gotta find a way, find a way to say) You don't have to worry
(Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy) Anymore
(Gotta find a way, find a way to say) 'Cause I'm lonely too, and
(Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy) And I love you, my lonely boy
(Yes, I'm gonna find a way, find a way to say) Can't I make you see that
(Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy) Someone who loves you is me
(Yes, I'm gonna find a way, find a way to say) My lonely boy
(Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy)
(Yes, I'm gonna find a way, find a way to say)
(Say that I'm the one who loves you, lonely boy) My lonely boy
