[Verse 1]
I'm left in misery
The girl I love's gone across the sea
I'm all alone
I ain't got no home
Mandy was her name
Sleeping was her game
She didn't care about me
Oh, God, baby, can't you see?

[Chorus]

I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy

[Verse 2]

I need her tender touch
Oh, I need it, oh, so much
I can't forget, I'm so upset
I wonder where she's gone
I wonder where she went wrong
I want to get her back to me
But I think she's tired of me

[Chorus]

I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy

[Bridge]

Every time I think of her
It brings back memories
I remember how it used to be
Oh, baby, can't you see?
Oh, baby, come on, come back to me

[Chorus]

I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy

[Verse 3]

Oh, my darling, can't you see
That you're the one that means so much to me
I know I need your tender touch
I can't wait to feel your crotch
Oh, what a crotch
I can't wait to fuck it

[Chorus]

I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
