Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
(Just ask the lonely)
Ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely, baby

When you feel that you
You got the strength to make it on your own
People, let me tell you now
That no one here is big enough to make it on their own

You tell 'em Michael

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt and the pain
Of losing a love
You can never and never regain

Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
(Just ask the lonely)
Ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely, baby

The young and foolish laugh at love
Oh, will slowly run away
Confident and sure that faith
Will bring another love their way
Somehow, some day

Tell 'em, Mike

Just ask the lonely, yeah
How many a heart can yearn
For losing a love that will never and never return
Yeah, aha

Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
(Just ask the lonely)
Ask the lonely, ask the lonely

They'll tell you
(Yes, they will, baby)
Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
(Just ask the lonely, baby)

They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
Got to tell you the loneliest one is me, yeah
Yes, I'm lonely

(Ask the lonely, baby, ask the lonely, baby)
All you got to do is ask me
'Cause I'm so lonely

(Ask the lonely, baby)
Yes, I am, yes I am, yes, I am, oh, baby
(Ask the lonely, baby)

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

Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
Ask the lonely, just ask the lonely, baby
Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
Ask the lonely, just ask the lonely

Ask the lonely, ask the lonely
Ask the lonely, just ask the lonely, baby
Ask the lonely
