“Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)” is a 1960 song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. Recorded by Orbison, it became his first major hit. As an operatic rock ballad, it was a sound unheard of at the time, described by the New York Times as expressing “a clenched, driven urgency”. It is seen as a seminal event in the evolution of Rock and Roll. Released as a 45rpm single by Monument Records in May, 1960, “Only The Lonely” went to No. 2 on the United States Billboard pop music charts in late-July 1960 and to No. 14 on the Billboard R&B charts. ”Only the Lonely” reached Number One in the United Kingdom, a position it achieved on 20 October 1960, staying there for two weeks (out of a total of 24 weeks spent on the UK singles chart from 28 July 1960)
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
(Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oow, ah-ah)
(Only the lonely)
(Only the lonely)
Only the lonely
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
Know the way I feel tonight
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
Only the lonely
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
Know this feeling ain’t right
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They’ve gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why I cry
Only the lonely
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
(Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oow, ah-ah)
(Only the lonely)
(Only the lonely)
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I’ve been through
Only the lonely know I cry and cry for you
May be tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that’s the chance
You’ve gotta take
If you’re lonely heartbreak
Only the lonely
