The Loneliest?

I love oldies. Today I was listening to the oldies station on the radio and the song "One" came on. You know, "One is the loneliest number...". It made me think. At first I thought that maybe Zero is lonelier than One, but Zero is nothing. Zero - for lack of a better description - doesn't exist. Having observed that, I would think that Ten, One-Hundred, One-Thousand and so on are just as lonely as One. They're just Ones who only have Zeroes to hang out with. Or are we to assume that Ten, One-Hundred, One-Thousand and so on are hanging out with Nine, Ninety-Nine, Nine-Hundred Ninety-Nine and so on? I certainly don't know. It make you think. Well, maybe not, but it made me think.
