Lonely Boy Lyrics

Lonely Boy(Andrew M. Gold)He was born on a summer dayNineteen sixty-oneAnd with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only sonMother and father said what a lovely boyWe'll teach him what we learnedOh yes just what we learnedWe'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to schoolIt'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's foolOh, oh what a lonely boyOh what a lonely boyOh what a lonely boyIn the summer of sixty-threeHis mother brought him a sisterAnd she told him we must attend to her needsShe's so much younger that youWell he ran down the hall and he criedOh how could his parents have liedWhen they said he was the only sonHe thought he was the only oneOh, oh what a lonely boyOh what a lonely boyOh what a lonely boyHe left home on a winter dayNineteen seventy-nineAnd he hoped to find all the love he hadLost in that earlier timeWell his sister grew up and she married a manShe gave him a son, oh yes a lovely sonThey dressed him up warmlyThey sent him to schoolIt taught him how to fight and be nobody's foolOh, oh what a lonely boy
