Lonely, i'm mr. lonely
i have nobody for my own
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
