Well, what is romance without the one you love?
Well, it's heartbreak and misery without the one you love
You fool yourself and say, "I'll forget"
And knowing all the time that it's not so
Playing the lonely role of Pagliacci
You're crying all day and you're sad and hurting and much more
Life can seem so cruel without the one you love
'Cause you're like a dying rose in summer without the one you love
One telephone call, one lifeline, that's all
Could mean a world of difference
Just like lovers, you never know, never know
You'll never ever, ever know
But life can seem so lonely, lonely
Without the one you love
One telephone call
You know the time, it could change it all
All this could mean a world of difference
Just like lovers, you never know, never know, no
Lovers, you'll never ever know
How lonely, lonely it seems
Without the one you love
Yeah, yeah
Without the one you love
