  • The beat's so lonely I'll bet it's lonely at the top She hesitates,
    but the beat will never stop Wanting him lonely But the people never see Her heart burning That's the secret that she keeps Come on, baby You know there's something missing Don't find nothing, no more coincidences Ready, baby Look in these eyes and you will see Things will happen But only if they're meant to be The beat's so lonely I'll bet it's lonely at the top (So lonely) at the top (So lonely) She said, the beat's so lonely If you let it be that way She can't tell the difference anyway She thinks, hold me But she's scared to say She'd pay dearly For the answers of her day Answers of her Answers of her days The beat's so lonely As she waits so patiently Her heart's yearning How she's learning to see He's not hurting But he wouldn't mind to be She still sees him She sees him interestingly Come on, baby You know there's something missing Don't find nothing, no more coincidences Ready, baby Before you give up all you got You got to come closer You got to give it one more shot The beat's so lonely I'll bet she's lonely at the top (So lonely) at the top (So lonely) She said The beat's so lonely If you let it be that way She can't tell the difference anyway She thinks, hold me But she's scared to say She'd pay dearly For the answers of her day Answers of her day Answers of her, oooow, day (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) Come on, baby You know there's something missing Don't find nothing, no more coincidences Ready, baby Before you give up all you got You got to come closer You got to give it One more shot The beat's so lonely I'll bet she's lonely at the top (So lonely) at the top (So lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) (So lonely, so lonely) Writer/s: CHARLES SEXTON, KEITH FORSEY

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1986 {April 19th} Charlie Sexton performed "Beat's So Lonely" on the Dick Clark's ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at position #54 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, four weeks earlier it had peaked at #17* {for three weeks} and it spent twenty weeks on the Top 100...
    Charles Wayne Sexton will celebrate his 51st birthday this coming August 11th, 2019...

  • Italo from SpainI have the Beat's so lonely 7inch single. Unfortunately he came after Billy Idol and Forsey production is such a cool but strong too..trademark! Just check Don't you forget about me that Simple Minds played.
  • Dave from Wheaton, IlCharlie's vocal sounded very much like Billy Idol's, whom Keith Forsey also produced.
  • John from St. Paul, KsHe also sang "Cry Little Sister", the theme song to the movie " The Lost Boys"
  • Jim from Brunswick, MeThis is a great one hit wonder from the '80s. Too bad. Mr. Sexton deserved more hits than this 1 gem. I'd like to point out a mistake in the 2nd songfact. It was the April 5, 1986 chart (not May 4) that Mr. Sexton had all those 17s lined up (& he was 17 years old to boot).
  • Hugh from Kansas City, MoA decent song, but IMPRESSED is the gem track of this album.
