Lonesome Number One
Just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be Lonesome Number One

Every love I've had has faded like the dew
Everyone I've wanted has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around and always come
I surely must be Lonesome Number One

Lonesome Number One
Just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be Lonesome Number One

(Instrumental Break)

Seems I'm always losin', love just won't come near
Just when love gets close, it always disappears
Sorrow always keeps me on the run
I surely must be Lonesome Number One

Lonesome Number One
Just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be Lonesome Number One
I surely must be Lonesome Number One
