[Intro: AJ]
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey
Oooh-ah!

[Verse 1: Brian & Nick]
This one's for the mothers
Who have lost a child
And this one's for the gypsies
Who left their hearts behind
This is for the strangers
Sleeping in my heart
Who take what they want (yeah)
And leave while it's still dark

[Pre-Chorus 1: AJ & Brian, AJ & Howie, Brian]
No one is glamorously lonely
All by themselves (all by themselves)

[Chorus: All & Brian]
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will
Help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved
The unloved...

[Verse 2: Brian, Nick with Howie]
This one's for the bridesmaid
Never the bride
And this one's for the dreamers
Who locked their faith inside
And this for the widows
Who think there's only one
For the dying fathers
That never told their sons

[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & Brian, Brian & AJ]
"No one is glamorously lonely
Follow your heart!" (follow your heart)

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
This is a song for the unloved (loved)
This is the music for one last cry (one last cry)
This is a prayer that tomorrow will
(That tomorrow will)
Help me leave the past behind (behind)
It's a song for the unloved (unloved)
The unloved...

[Bridge: Nick, Brian & AJ]
Tomorrow the sun will shine
And dry the tears in your eyes
Suddenly love comes alive
(Suddenly love comes alive)

[Interlude: AJ & Nick]
For one last cry
Just one last cry, oh-oh

[Reprise: AJ with Brian]
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will
Help me leave the past behind!

[Chorus: All, AJ, (Nick) & Brian]
This is a song for the unloved (loved)
This is the music for one last cry (for one last cry)
This is a prayer that tomorrow will (that tomorrow will)
Help me leave the past behind
(This is, this is) This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
(This is the music for one last cry)
This is a prayer that tomorrow will (that tomorrow will)
Help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (song for the unloved)
The unloved...

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
