I'm watching the names on each lonely-heart page
I'm filing my claims on all girls the right age
I'm hoping each day, one will answer my plea
Please answer and say my companion you'll be
Lonely heart blues I just can't lose
Won't somebody choose to cure my lonely heart blues
I go to each dance, I always hope I'll find
By some lucky chance, the one girl who'll be mine
The harder I try, still they always refuse
I'm afraid I'll die with these lonely heart blues
* Refrain
If ever I find someone to share my name
I'll treat her so kind, never leave her in shame
You lonely girls, please, won't you drop me a line
You'll give my heart ease if you'll only be mine
* Refrain
