Last night my roommate brought his girlfriend home
Started carrying on
Like I wasn't there
I ain't no fool, I know that three's a crowd
I'm the odd man out
So I disappeared

I walked outside in the cold night air
I saw two lovers kissing there

And don't it seem like the whole world's in love when you're lonely?
Everybody's holding hands
Making eyes, making plans
Oh, the whole world's in love when you're lonely
And it sure makes you blue
When the whole world's in love without you

So I went and saw an old movie
Was a love story
Almost made me cry
Somehow the hero always gets the girl
In the make-believe world
So did I

The lights came up as I turned to go
And caught the love scene in the very last row

Don't it seem like the whole world's in love when you're lonely?
Everybody's holding hands
Making eyes, making plans
Oh, the whole world's in love when you're lonely
And it sure makes you blue
When the whole world's in love without you

Is something wrong with me?
Everybody I meet
Seems to have their one and only

Don't it seem like the whole world's in love when you're lonely?
Everybody's holding hands
Making eyes, making plans
The whole world's in love when you're lonely

Everybody's holding hands
Making eyes, making plans
The whole world's in love when you're lonely
