Paul Anka and Joe Dowell/ “Lonely Boy”

#1 on Billboard Charts for 4 weeks, 1959

I'm just a lonely boy

Lonely and blue

I'm all alone

With nothing to do

I've got everything

You could think of

But all I want

Is someone to love

Someone, yes, someone to love

Someone to kiss

Someone to hold

At a moment like this

I'd like to hear

Somebody say

“I'll give you my love

Each night and day”

I'm just a lonely boy

Lonely and blue

I'm all alone

With nothing to do

I've got everything

You could think of

But all I want

Is someone to love

Somebody, somebody

Somebody, please

Send her to me

I'll make her happy

Just wait and see

I prayed so hard

To the heavens above

That I might find

Someone to love

I'm just a lonely boy

Lonely and blue

I'm all alone

With nothing to do

I've got everything . . .
