What about Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely"? And if you want a more modern take, you can listen to the remixed version by Akon titled "Lonely".

"Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes

Another Lonely Day - Ben Harper

"They're writing songs of love but not for me A lucky star's above but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more skies of grey Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho...alas and also lackaday Although I can't resist the memory of his kiss I know he's not for me" That's pretty doggone lonely! :)

I'm So Lonely by Brian Wilson

Roy Orbison - "Only the Lonely"

....

Can't beat this. Patti Labelle and Micheal MacDonald.

Wish Me Well - The Blue Nile

Janis Ian At Seventeen- about a lonely teenager In the Winter-about a lonely abandoned wife Simon and Garfunkel I am a Rock and one I can't find a vid for but is one of the most poignant songs about loneliness ever written: Three Flights Up by Don Maclean. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform it live in Sydney many years ago and have never forgotten it. On the first floor On the first floor On the first floor there's a young girl reeling Her body's numb and without feeling As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling Now she's falling, now she's kneeling It's almost like she's bowed in prayer A savior she's about to bear She screams for help, but no one's there On the first floor On the first floor people walk the halls But none can hear her desperate calls There is no sound beyond the walls So to the telephone she crawls She telephones her only friend The one on whom she can depend But the phone rings on without an end Then rings no moreOn the first floor There's a party on the second floor And through the picture window you can see them all They're laughing and they're dancing Admiring the Renoir that's hanging on the wall But in the master bedroom where the coats are piled high A silent, saddened lady thinks of what it's like to die And as she dwells on all the years she still has left to face She wonders how she'll ever find someone to take his place Then suddenly she's jarred by the ringing of the phone Oh, why do you ring now, just when I want to be alone? So she walks into the bathroom and drinks some water from a cup But the telephone stops ringing just before she picks it up My family was very poor So I worked hard to be secure I married one I had to wed And not the one I loved instead When I was young my blood ran wild But we stayed married for the child Now three flights up, I'm all alone My wife is dead, my child is grown My daughter leads a wayward life She's been a failure as a wife And though she lives just one floor down She never calls or comes around Step off the platform and onto the train Look out your window and into the rain Watch all the buildings that pass as you ride And count all the stories that go on inside And then ask yourself if it must be this way Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings Separate us from each others' feelings?

I'm so lonesome I could cry, I like the Elvis version :-) ....

Forgot who the singer is, but a 60s motown deal called 'What Become of the Broken Hearted.'

Goo Goo Dolls Iris And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

James Blunt Goodbye My Lover Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I am a dreamer but when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while. I'd be the father of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

The ultimate one:- Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from ? All the lonely people Where do they all belong ? Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near. Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong?

Invisible Tears- Marie Osmond I go to Pieces- Peter and Gordon, although the screaming teenyboppers give the impression that loneliness might not have been an issue for Peter or Gordon that day. ;) As Tears go by- Marianne Faithful Just Another Day- Jon Secada:

show me the meaning of bieng lonely....

Show me the meaning of being lonely Show me the meaning of being lonely So many words for the broken heart It's hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free I could feel the sun Your every wish will be done They tell me Chorus: Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze Guilty roads to an endless love There's no control Are you with me now Your every wish will be done They tell me Chorus There's nowhere to run I have no place to go Surrender my heart' body and soul How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show You are missing in my heart Tell me why I can't be there where you are... ...

"I just dont want to be lonely" by The Spinners

The first thing that came to mind was Roy Orbison, Only The Lonely.

Wilco is the man!

Mr Lonely Bobby V or Vinton can't recall.

A few have mentioned Only the Lonely by Roy Orbison, but any 80s music fans remember Only the Lonely by The Motels? Or how about another oldie, Lonely Days by the Bee Gees?

WESTLIFE LYRICS "Loneliness Knows Me By Name" Loneliness is always looking for a friend It found me once and it has been around since then Loneliness is never waiting by the door It sweeps right through and it will never be ignored Why, why was I chosen? Why am I left without? The love of my life, the love that I need The love that they say is in life for free The love of dreams, the love that I want Loneliness knows me by name Loneliness knows everything I keep inside My endless thought in the silence of the night Loneliness is the one who made me see Ain't nobody else who can make a change but me Why, why was I chosen? Why am I left without? Life is more and that would be the vacant space The cried out tears and a never ending maze I have found what only loneliness provides A strength within knowing I will find ANNIE LENNOX LYRICS "Loneliness" Loneliness Is a place that I know well It's the distance between us And the space inside ourselves And emptiness.... Is the chattering in your head It's the call of the living And the race from life to death Woa and I know Yes and I know What you feel... And I've got a longin' That's hard to find Won't give me no peace of mind Something that I've lived with all along Days and weeks and months and years Filling in the time my dear Tryin' to find the place where I belong Hopelessness is the darkness in your heart It's the sound of one hand clapping While it's pulling you apart Woa and I know Yes and I know What you feel And I've got a longin' That's hard to find Won't give me no peace of mind Something that I've lived with all along Days and weeks and months and years Filling in the time my dear Tryin' to find the place where I belong And I got a hunger that's Hard to fill Driving me on overkill Tellin' me that everything's gone wrong Got me a need That I can't break More than I can hardly take Somehow I still keep on going strong When I call your name I'm gonna scream out loud I'll say... "here I am standing in the crowd" You'll say "come to me" With your open mind you never know What you still might find" But you keep me here Like a cancelled flight An empty train Running through the night An orphan child A broken shoe and I'm still down here Looki' out for you Are you there for me? 'Cause I'm here for you WILCO LYRICS "How To Fight Loneliness" How to fight loneliness Smile all the time Shine you teeth til meaningless Sharpen them with lies And whatevers going down Will follow you around Thats how you fight loneliness You laugh at every joke Drag your blanket blindly Fill your heart with smoke And the first thing that you want Will be the last thing you ever need Thats how you fight it Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time

"Wildfire". "A pony she named "Wildfire" busted down its stall..She ran, calling, "Wildfire"...In a blizzard, they were lost....And there's been a hoot-owl outside my window now, for six nights in a row. She's coming for me, I know,...and on Wildfire, we're both gonna to go"......Michael Martin Murphey.
