No obtuvo un éxito continuado en sus comienzos, y tuvo que ser tras su muerte cuando se empezaron a valorar grandes temas como su primer número 1 "Only The Lonely", "Oh, Pretty Woman", "In Dreams" y canciones póstumas como "I Drove All Night" o "You got it". Todo un lujo recordar esas canciones tan llenas de magia y candidez.
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you
Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
