On that day when I first saw you as you drove away
You looked like you had something good to say
So, I followed you
Your car was playing “Only the Lonely”
Ocean Parkway to Coney
That’s when I said out loud
You’re the one for me
You’re the only one I wanna be with
You’re the one for me
Oh Zachary
I’ve been wrong in practically every song
And I hoped it wouldn’t be too long till I was right
Your car was playing “Always on My Mind”
My heart was praying please be kind
That’s when I said out loud
You’re the one for me
You’re the only one I wanna be with
You’re the one for me
Oh Zachary
Zach my dear
feels the same as I, it’s clear
and without a trace of fear
He said to me...
You’re the one for me
You’re the only one I wanna be with
You’re the one for me
Oh Zachary

Why can’t I be anybody’s only one?
Why does everybody else have all the fun?
I drive from Ocean to Coney
My anthem is “Only The Lonely”
Oh, woe is me, why can’t I be
Somebody’s only one?
My word, my mask is maybe masking my intentions
I compensate each night on Ocean Parkway, revving my engines
It's all in the eyes, they say
So why does nobody look my way?
My word, my heart’s stuck in detention
Despite automotive invention
Why can’t I be anybody’s only one?
Why does everybody else have all the fun?
I drive from Ocean to Coney
My anthem is “Only The Lonely”
Oh, woe is me, why can’t I be
Somebody’s only one?
I don’t expect that I’d be always on your mind
Unlike my peers I don’t expect that I’d be paid in kind
But, you know, what may come my way
May be worth the price I’ve paid
My automotive augmentations are top of the line
So why won’t you be mine?
Why can’t I be anybody’s only one?
Why does everybody else have all the fun?
I drive from Ocean to Coney
My anthem is “Only The Lonely”
Oh, woe is me, why can’t I be
Somebody’s only one?
