the temptations - only a lonely man would know lyrics

[verse 1: david ruffin & the temptations]
once i thought that love was a toy
(for girls and boys)
i never gave my heart, i just played the part
(right from the start)
then there was you, sweet you
with love that i knew, i knew was true
but in my pride, i left you, baby
just hanging on, now love is gone

[pre+chorus: david ruffin & the temptations]
(now i know) now i know, baby
what i was too, too slow to learn
(now i know) woo, now i know
now i’m all alone and my heart is yearning

[chorus: david ruffin & the temptations]
only a lonely man would know
only a lonely man would know
the bitter tears i’ve cried since i’ve lost you
since you said goodbye
(ask a lonely man)
only a lonely, lonely man would know, honey
the pain inside of me since i let my pride make a fool of me
(ask a lonely man)
[verse 2: david ruffin & the temptations]
ask any lonely man you see, yeah
ooh, ask any lonely man like me, yeah
foolishly, girl, i broke your heart (now we’re apart)
now in my lonely room i just reminisce (long for your kiss)
now through my lonely tears, i can see ahead long lonely years
without your love, my world, my world’s at an end
black’s closing in

[pre+chorus: david ruffin & the temptations]
you don’t know, honey, how much i need you, baby
woo, you don’t know how sorry i am that i failed to keep you, baby

[chorus: david ruffin & the temptations]
only a lonely, only a lonely, lonely man would know
bitter tears i’ve cried since i’ve lost you
since you said goodbye
(ask a lonely man)
only a lonely, only a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man would know
the pain inside me since i’ve let my pride make a fool of me
(ask a lonely man)

[outro: david ruffin & the temptations]
ask any lonely man you see, yeah baby
ooh, honey, honey, just ask any lonely man like me, yeah
ask him, baby
only a lonely man would know
only a lonely man would know, baby
only a lonely man would know
bitter tears i’ve cried since i’ve lost you
since you said goodbye
ask a lonely man
ask him, baby
only a lonely man would know
ask any lonely man would know
the bitter pain inside of me since i let my pride make a fool of me
ask a lonely man
only a lonely man would know
