If you're lost and you're alone
   Let me sing you a song
   Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight
   I know what you're goin' through
   I can sympathize with you
   I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life
   I was born with a broken heart
   Born to lose right from the start
   Raised on hand-me-down blues
   That's why I sing the way I do
   A sad six string and a jukebox voice
   I'm the lonely people's choice
   I was made to play the part
   I was born with a broken heart
  
   If the sun should ever shine in your life
   Well, friend, that's fine
   And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared
   Oh, but don't look back for me
   I'm where I'm supposed to be
   And anywhere there's a lonely street I'll be there
  
   I was born with a broken heart
   Born to lose right from the start
   Raised on hand-me-down blues
   That's why I sing the way I do
   A sad six string and a jukebox voice
   I'm the lonely people's choice
   I was made to play the part
   I was born with a broken heart
  
   Yes, I was made to play the part
   I was born with a broken heart
