Texty: Ray Davies. Lonely Hearts.

Ooh, darlin', what can I do? I feel so afraid
And even my friends don't know, what to say
That's why I'm asking you

I'm so afraid, I know I should be strong
But when affection is gone it's hard to face each day
Knowin' love has drifted away

Somehow I can't hide the pain
Is he gonna come back again?

Dear Lonely Hearts
I wish things could be the way that they were at the start
But you must face the facts if he's goin' to leave
There's no way that you'll win him back

You gotta try to hold back the tears
Don't give into your fears

Darlin', I'm so afraid, I can get through the night
But when affection is gone it's hard to face each day
Oh, will he please come home?

Dear Lonely Heart, dear Lonely Heart, dear Lonely Heart
I wish things could be the way that they were at the start
But you must face the fact if he's goin' to leave
There's no way that you'll win him back, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dear Lonely Heart, dear Lonely Heart, dear Lonely Heart

Darlin', I'm so afraid, I can get through the night
But I can't face the day knowin' you are far away
Oh, will you please come home?
