Only The Lonely - The Motels
We walked the loneliest mile We smile without any style We kiss all together wrong No intention
We lie about each other's drinks We live without each other Thinking what anyone would do Without me and you
It's like I told you Only the lonely can play
So hold on here we go Hold on to nothin' we know I feel so lonely Way up here
You mention the time we were together So long ago well I don't remember All I know is it makes me feel good now
It's like I told you only the lonely can play Only the lonely only the lonely can play
Only the lonely only the lonely can play It's like I told you only the lonely can play Only the lonely Only the lonely can play
I bet I've played this song over a thousand times and it still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.
Thanks, Lew, for publishing this song. As a poem it does not grab the sense of loneliness, but the music really accentuates that emotion.
