Music by elton john Lyrics by gary osborne Released as a uk b-side in 1982 Lonely boy, get up and fly Lonely boy, get up and try Everyone knows you got what it takes All you need is one or two good breaks Lonely boy, this is your time Lonely boy, you're on the line This just could be the only throw you got Get on up and give it your best shot
You gotta make it lonely boy You gotta take it lonely boy Oh do da do da day You gotta do it lonely boy Get to it lonely boy Oh take it all the way Lonely boy, you are the one Lonely boy, your chance has come Destiny gonna put you to the test Face the music and disregard the rest
