1. Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

2. Letters, never a letter,

1. I have nobody for my own.

2. I get no letters in the mail.

1. I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

2. I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,

1. wish I had someone to call on the phone.

2. Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,

Away from home through no wish of my own.

That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,

I wish that I could go back home.
