Only A Lonely Man Would Know The Temptations

[Verse 1: David Ruffin & The Temptations]
Once I thought that love was a toy
(For girls and boys)
I never gave my heart, I just played the part
(Right from the start)
Then there was you, sweet you
With love that I knew, I knew was true
But in my pride, I left you, baby
Just hanging on, now love is gone

[Pre-Chorus: David Ruffin & The Temptations]
(Now I know) Now I know, baby
What I was too, too slow to learn
(Now I know) Woo, now I know
Now I'm all alone and my heart is yearning

[Chorus: David Ruffin & The Temptations]
Only a lonely man would know
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried since I've lost you
Since you said goodbye
(Ask a lonely man)
Only a lonely, lonely man would know, honey
The pain inside of me since I let my pride make a fool of me
(Ask a lonely man)
