Sam Cooke Lonely Island song lyrics

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 have pity

I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea

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
