When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders

And, when you're feeling lonely and small,

You need somebody there to hold you;

You can call out my name

When you're only lonely;

Now, don't you ever be ashamed;

You're only lonely.

When you need somebody around on the nights that try you

I was there when you were a queen

And I'll be the last one there beside you;

So you can call out my name

When you're only lonely;

Now, don't you ever be ashamed;

You're only lonely.

Ooh, When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders

And, when you're feeling lonely and small,

You need somebody there to hold you;

So don't you ever be ashamed

When you're only lonely;

You can call out my name

When you're only lonely;

When you're only lonely;

Ooh, it's no crime,

Darlin', we got lots of time,

Woh, woh,

Woh, woh, woh,

No there's nothing wrong with you,

Darlin, I get lonely too.

So, if you need me,

All you've gotta do is call me

Well, you're only lonely

Ooh, ooh,
