[Verse 1]
There you sit, lonely
Touched by the light of day
Oh, if you only knew how I cared
Then, you'd stop feeling
Sorry for yourself
And you could share all the joy I see

[Chorus]
So, girl, if you're lonely
Oh, won't you come along, I'll sing to you
And girl, I am lonely
Oh, won't you come along and sing to me
Can it be you're lonely like me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
While you're playacting
There's a whole world outside
All of us lonely like you
Millions of teardrops make it rain outside
I'm crying inside like you

[Chorus]
There you sit, lonely
Oh, won't you come and sing a song to me
And girl, I am lonely
Oh, won't you come, I'll sing a song for you
Girl, I am lonely
Oh, won't you come along and sing to me
Girl, if you're lonely
Oh, won't you come, I'll sing a song for you
I love you
