Dear miss lonely hearts
I had to write this letter
To tell you how i came to meet her

She was sweet but i dated her sister
That's how i made my mistake
And i can't forget her


I felt depressed
'til a friend of mine suggested

That i write to this address
So unless you can find a cure
For my loneliness

It will presist
It will presist


Lonely boy
Looking for another
Lonely girl

To love one another
Lonely hearts
Turn to each other

Lonely souls

Dear lonely boy

I doubt if my reply will bring much joy
It seems from your letter that you lied
Or strongly implied

That you were satisfied
To take her sister by your side


I became distressed
At your total lack of tactfulness
So at best all i can suggest

Is that you resist and you put an end
To such thoughts of silliness


Lonely boy
Looking for another
Lonely girl

To love one another
Lonely hearts
Turn to each other

Lonely souls

*guitar*


Dear miss lonely hearts
I've got problems

You're the only one that i know that can solve them
I love a girl but i'm dating her sister
If i presist in my pursuit i will kiss her

Dear lonely girl
I doubt if this reply is gonna bring much joy
But you must not trust this boy

You must not lust this boy
Resist and do not kiss this boy


Lonely boy
Looking for another
Lonely girl

To love one another
Lonely hearts
Turn to each other

Lonely souls

Lonely souls...
