Loneliness is the worst thing in the world 
To be alone all the day long 
No ring on the phone, yeah this is wrong 
Low down loneliness 

This loneliness, I must confess 
Yes it's a mess of this loneliness 
Low down loneliness, loneliness all around 
Loneliness, you have found me loneliness 

Oh loneliness, all of the time 
Such loneliness, you're so unkind 
Low down loneliness 
Loneliness everywhere 
Loneliness, I've got more that my share 

Oh loneliness, my destiny 
Yeah loneliness, was I born to be 
In low down Loneliness? Loneliness
