"It's Sad to Belong" is a song written by Randy Goodrum and performed by England Dan & John Ford Coley on their 1977 album, Dowdy Ferry Road.

[6][7] The song topped the adult contemporary (then called "easy listening") chart for five consecutive weeks from June 25 to July 23.

[12] The song has been called "bittersweet", telling the story of a married man falling in love with another woman and knowing they cannot be together.

[1] Dale Van Atta of the Deseret News observed that it is "the universal divorce anthem - about the alleged monotony of monogamy" and that the duo "[reduces] it to a simple, peaceful chorus" (referring to the line, Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along).

"[15] Record World said that "the latest single by this duo deals with the 'trying to love two' theme in a way that should find listeners in pop, MOR and country formats in short order.
