Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Oh, and although it's always crowded
  • You still can find some room
  • For broken-hearted lovers
  • To cry there in their gloom

Echo the hook

  • They get so lonely, baby
  • Well, they're so lonely
  • They'll get so lonely, they could die
  • Well, now, if your baby leaves you
lonelywellbaby
