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,

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,

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, you ' re only lonely.

Ah, you can call out my name...when you ' re only lonely,

When you ' re only lonely...

Ah, it ' s no crime...darling, we ' ve got lots of time.

Ah, there ' s nothing wrong with you...

Darling, I get lonely, too.

So if you need me, all you gotta do is call me

You ' re only lonely
