ASK THE LONELY
(William Stevenson / Ivy Jo Hunter)

The Four Tops
The Temptations


Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone.
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone.

Just ask the lonely.
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain.
Just ask the lonely.

The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away, 
Confident and sure that fate 
Will bring another love their way.

But ask the lonely 
How vainly a heart can yearn 
For losing a love 
That will never return. 
Just ask the lonely.

They'll tell you a story of sadness. 
A story too hard to believe. 
They'll tell you 
The loneliest one is me.

Just ask the lonely. 
Ask me, I'm the loneliest one of all.
