Ask The Lonely
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely, baby)
When you feel that you
Got the strength to make it on your own
People let me tell you now
That no one here will get the love
To make it on their own
You tell 'em Michael
Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt and the pain
'Cause losing a love you can never, never regain
(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely, baby)
The young and foolish laugh at love
Oh, it will slowly run away
Confident and sure that faith
Will bring another love their way
Somehow, someday
Tell 'em Mike
Just ask the lonely
How many a heart can yearn
For losing a love that will never, never return
(Ask the lonely) Yeah (Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(They'll tell you) They'll tell you, yeah
Yes they will, baby (Just ask the lonely)
They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you the loneliest one is me, yeah
Yes, I'm lonely
(Ask the lonely, baby)
All you got to do is ask me
'Cause I'm so lonely
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, oh baby
They'll tell a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you the loneliest one is me
(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely) The lonely one is me
(Ask the lonely) The lonely one is me
(Just ask the lonely, baby)
Ask me, yeah, ask me
I'm the loneliest one, I'm the loneliest one
