Lonely boys and you lonely girls
   Here at the end of the lonely world
   You're finding out
   If there's someone to cry about
  
   Lonely girls and you lonely boys
   Playing alone with your lonely toys
   Well don't be blue
   If there's no one to play with you
  
   Get a grip on yourself you know you should
   I got a grip on myself and it feels good
   Get a grip on yourself take my advice
   I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
  
   When the lights come on and the party's through
   There are always a few with nobody to do
   Well now don't despair
   You'll eventually get there
  
   And meanwhile all of you lonely ones
   Here's what to do while you wait for the sun
   To rise above
   The loneliest kind of love
  
   Get a grip on yourself you know you should
   I got a grip on myself and it feels good
   Get a grip on yourself take my advice
   I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
  
   And it feels nice
   And it feels nice (4x)
  
   If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you
   First you gotta get a grip on yourself it's true
