What do the lonely do,
how do they ever make it through
Somebody better tell me,
'cause I can tell I'm losing you.
What do the lonely do,
how do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too,
so what do the lonely do

Now do they go to parties,
pretend to have a good time
Are they the ones who leave early
so no one sees them crying
Or do they go for long walks
underneath the moonlight,
wishing they had someone,
someone to hold them tight

What do the lonely do,
how do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too,
so what do the lonely do

Are they always watching
when other lovers pass ‘em by
And are they always hoping
they're gonna get another try
or do they just remember,
and dream of yesterday,
of the one who left them lonely,
the one who got away

What do the lonely do,
how do they ever make it through
Somebody better tell me,
'cause I can tell I'm losing you.
What do the lonely do,
how do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too,
so what do the lonely do
