Only the lonely  
Know the way I feel tonight  
Only the lonely  
Know this feeling ain’t right

There goes my baby  
There goes my heart  
They’re gone forever  
So far apart

But only the lonely  
Know why  
I cry  
Only the lonely

When the wind is free.  
Take good care of yourself,  
You belong to me.

When people keep repeating  
That you’ll never fall in love  
When everybody keeps retreating  
But you can’t seem to get enough

Let my love open the door  
Let my love open the door  
To your heart

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!  
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch  
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’  
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

My wife went in for rabbits and she kept them in a hutch  
She only bought two rabbits and it didn’t seem like much  
One morning when we looked at them, how they’d multiplied  
A million rabbits hopped right out and all the neighbours cried  
Shut the door, they’re comin’ through the window  
Shut the window, they’re comin’ through the door  
Shut the door, they’re comin’ through the window  
Oh, the room is full and won’t hold any more

Put your right foot forward  
Put your left foot out  
Do the Bunny hop  
Hop, hop, hop

Dance this new creation  
It’s the new sensation  
Do the Bunny hop  
Hop, hop, hop

Live, baby, live  
Now that the day is over  
I gotta new sensation  
In perfect moments  
Impossible to refuse

Sleep, baby, sleep  
Now that the night is over  
And the sun comes  
Like a god into our room  
All perfect light and promises

The milk truck hauls the sun up  
And the paper hits the door  
The subway shakes my floor  
And i think about you  
Time to face the dawning gray  
Of another lonely day  
Baby, it’s so hard  
Living without you

It’s so hard  
Baby, it’s so hard  
Baby, it’s so hard  
Living without you

Oh, well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard? _(oh, yes!)_

To love one who never will be true?

It’s Love, Brother Love, say  
Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show  
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies  
And ev’ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows  
Brother Love’s show

(My mother was a big Neil Diamond fan when I was growing up, and so, I heard this song a lot. As a child, I thought that the line “grab the old ladies” was “crabby old ladies” 😉 )
