(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
