Have you ever been lonely
have you ever been blue
have you ever loved someone
just as i love you
Can't you see i'm sorry
for each mistake i've made
can't you see i've changed, dear
can't you see i've paid
Be a little forgiving
take me back in your heart
how can i go on living
now that we're apart
If you knew what i've been thru
then you'd know why i ask you
have you ever been lonely
have you ever been blue
(repeat last verse)

Have you ever been lonely
have you ever been blue
have you ever loved someone
just as i love you
Can't you see that i'm sorry
for each mistake i made
can't you see i've changed, dear
can't you see that i've paid
Oh, be a little forgivin'
take me back in your heart
how can i go on livin'
now that we're apart
If you knew what i been thru
you would know why i ask you
have you ever been lonely
have you ever been blue
Be a little forgivin'
take me back in your heart
how can i go on livin'
now that we're apart
If you knew what i been thru
you would know why i ask you
have you ever been lonely
have you ever been blue
