          "Mr. Lonely" is a song co-written and recorded by American singer Bobby Vinton, backed by Robert Mersey and his Orchestra. The song was first released on Vinton's 1962 album, Roses Are Red.

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely

I have nobody for my own

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

Wish I had someone to call on the phone

 

Now 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, yes, forgotten

Oh, how I wonder, how is it I failed

 

Now 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.
