Will you lend me your ear
 Do you know the meaning of emptiness
 If not I'll make it clear
 Alone, alone
 Nobody knows how lonely it can be
 And I'm so tired of being alone.

 Let me tell you a story
 One you've probably heard
 One about the man who was lost
 And I can tell you in one word
 Alone, alone
 Nobody knows how lonely it can be
 And he was tired of being alone
 Alone, alone
 Nobody knows how lonely it can be
 And I'm so tired of being alone.

 There's an end to the fable
 Where does all of this lead
 That for everyone who needs someone
 There is someone there to need
 Alone, alone
 Someone is still alone
 Alone, alone
 Someone is still alone
