Lyrics:

Song recorded by Motown recording group the Four Tops. It was the group’s second successful single, charting as the number 9 R&B in the country at the time.
(Just ask the lonely)

When you feel that you
Can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it alone

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt and pain
Of losing a love you can never regain
Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish laugh at love
So they 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

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 you'll see
(Just ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
I'm the loneliest one you'll see
