Lonely Boy Lyrics - Singles - Andrew Gold

He was born on a summer day, 1951 

And with a slap of a hand, he had landed as an only son 

His mother and father said what a lovely boy 

We'll teach him what we learned, ah yes just what we learned 

We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school 

It'll teach him how to fight to be nobody's fool 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

In the summer of '53 his mother brought him a sister 

And she told him we must attend to her needs 

She's so much younger than you 

Well he ran down the hall and he cried 

Oh how could his parents have lied 

When they said he was an only son 

He thought he was the only one

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Oh, what a lonely boy 

Goodbye mama, goodbye to you 

Goodbye papa, I'm pushing on through 

He left home on a winter day 1969 

And he hoped to find all the love 

He had lost in that earlier time 

Well his sister grew up and she married a man 

He gave her a son, ah yes a lovely son 

They dressed him up warmly, they sent him to school 

It taught him how to fight to be nobody's fool
