The Motels: Only The Lonely

We walked the lonliest mile
We smile without any style
We kiss altogether wrong
No intention

We lie about each other's drinks
We live without each other thinking what anyone would do
Without me and you

It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play

So hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin we know
I feel so lonely
Way up here

You mention the time we were together
so long ago well I don't remember
all I know is it makes me feel good now.

It's like I told you only the lonely can play
Only the lonely only the lonely can play

Only the lonely only the lonely can play
It's like I told you only the lonely can play
Only the lonely
only the lonely can play

The Motels are a New Wave music band from the Los Angeles area best known for "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer", both of which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 and 1983, respectively. Their song "Total Control" reached #4 on the Australian charts in 1980. Martha Davis (born 1951), the lead singer, reformed a version of the band called "The Motels featuring Martha Davis" in 1998; as of 2010 she continues to appear under that name with various line-ups of musicians.

The release of All Four One [April 5, 1982], the band's first successful U.S. album, coincided with the emergence of MTV, which led to music videos being created for both "Only the Lonely" and "Take the L". Davis won an award in the Best Performance in a Music Video category at the American Music Awards in 1982 for her performance in the "Only the Lonely" video.

All Four One is the third studio album by the New Wave band The Motels, released in 1982. The album felt like the 'fourth album' to the band, as it is mostly a re-recording of an unreleased album entitled Apocalypso.
