My name should be troubleMy name should be woeFor trouble and heartache is all that I knowYeah, lonely, lonely blue boy is my nameMy life has been emptyMy heart has been tornIt must have been raining the night I was bornYeah, lonely, lonely blue boy is my nameWell, I’m soI’m so afraid of tomorrow (tomorrow)And so tired, so tired of today (so tired of today)They say that love is the answerBut love never came my wayI’m writing this letter to someone unknownSo if you should find it and if you’re aloneWell, lonely, lonely blue boy is my nameRemember, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name
