Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no t**les have I won
Surely must be lonesome number one
Every love I've had
Has faded like the dew
Every one I've wanted
Has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around and always come
Surely must be lonesome number one
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no t**les have I won
Surely must be lonesome number one
Seems I'm always losing
Love just can'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 t**les have I won
Surely must be lonesome number one
Surely must be lonesome number one
