Composer(s): Ivy Jo Hunter - William Stevenson

Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain
Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away
Confident and sure that fate 
Will bring another love their way

But ask the lonely 
How vainly a heart can yearn 
For losing a love 
That will never return
Just ask the lonely

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

Just ask the lonely 
Ask me, I'm the loneliest one of all
