Lyrics
- Tho’ I’m not what you would call a prize
I’ve seen a lot much worse than I’m getting by
I have just begun to realize
Exactly what a lonesome soul am I
I wasn’t made for love it’s plain to see
What I am I guess I’ll always be
Chorus
I’m just a broken-hearted baby
Lonesome and blue, oh, what’ll I do
All I hear is maybe
Why must it be just poor little me
Out at a dance I’m the loneliest party
Who’ll take a chance
While I’m still hale and hearty
Broken-hearted baby, nobody cares about me
- I’m as blue as anyone can be
And everyone I meet has nothing sweet to say
No one takes a second look at me
They say “hello” and pass along their way
Gee! I hope that someone soon comes along
Must I always sing this same old song
