Lonely boys and you lonely girls
Here at the end of the lonely world
You're finding out
If there's someone to cry about
Lonely girls and you lonely boys
Playing alone with your lonely toys
Well don't be blue
If there's no one to play with you
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
When the lights come on and the party's through
There are always a few with nobody to do
Well now don't despair
You'll eventually get there
And meanwhile all of you lonely ones
Here's what to do while you wait for the sun
To rise above
The loneliest kind of love
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
And it feels nice
And it feels nice 4x
If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you
First you gotta get a grip on yourself it's true
