—————
How are you lonely? Does it change from day to day?
How are you lonely? …or does it always come on the very same way?
Do you yearn for someone else? Does it make you cry out loud?
Do you feel all by yourself in the press of the crowd?

[chorus:]
How are you la-da da-dah da-da-dah la-da-da-da da-dah
How are you lonely?

How are you lonely? Do you lie awake at night?
Do you imagine you said something wrong and nothing you do can make it alright?
Do you worry…it’s too late to make amends?
What’s your hurry to call just to ask whether you can [still] be friends?

[chorus]

How are you lonely? Does the day fly far too fast?
Or do the seconds tick by one at a time as you watch your life fade into the past?
Does the band sound tired and seasick as the ice melts in your gin?
Do you plan to stay out all night long? Are you wishing you’d just stayed in?

[chorus]

How are you lonely? Does it change from day to day?
How are you lonely? …or does it always come on the very same way?
Do you yearn for someone else? Does it make you cry out loud?
Do you feel all by yourself in the press of the crowd?

[chorus]
