Lonely Boy
Gary Glitter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothing to do
I've got everything you could think of
But all I want is someone to love

Someone to love
Someone to kiss
Some to hold
At a moment like this

I like to hear somebody say
I'll give you my love each night and day

I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothing to do
I've got everything you could think of
But all I want is someone to love

Somebody please
Say it to me
I'll make her happy
Just wait and see

I pray in heart
To the heavens above




That I might find
Someone to love
