Sam Cooke - Lonely island

(I'm so lonely because)

I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city
I live on a lonely island, there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame and a pity
I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea
{repeat verse}

Nobody will believe me
nobody seems to care
How lonely, how lonely can you be
I walk around the city
my heart sends out a flare
Baby, baby, baby won't you rescue me

{repeat verse 1} {repeat 2}
