Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

I have nobody for my own.

I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

wish I had someone to call on the phone.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,

Away from home through no wish of my own.

That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

I wish that I could go back home.

Letters, never a letter,

I get no letters in the mail.

I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,

Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,

Away from home through no wish of my own.

That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

I wish that I could go back home.
