[Chorus]
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be lonesome number one

[Verse 1]
Every love I've had has faded like the dew
Every one I wanted has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around and always come
I surely must be lonesome number one

[Chorus]
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be lonesome number one

[Verse 2]
It seems I'm always losing, love just won't come near
Just when I get close, it always disappears
Sorrow always keeps me on the run
I surely must be lonesome number one

[Chorus]
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be lonesome number one
