[Verse]
The one I love belongs to somebody else
She sings her tender songs to somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
And the hands I held, they belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else

[Chorus]
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
Like when the one you love belongs to somebody else
And the one I love belongs to somebody else
