Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I feel blue, lonesome too
I don’t know just what to do
I never get a bit of love from you
Oh! you know it’s true, yes you do
All day long you keep away
Something’s wrong, that’s why I say
You ought to have a little sympathy
Oh! can’t you see
Chorus
I wasn’t born to be lonesome
I want to be with you
I wouldn’t mind being homesome
If you’d only give me just a little loving
Think of the kisses I’m missing
It’s simply driving me wild
The world owes me some loving you see
And I want ev’ry little bit that’s coming to me
I wasn’t born to be lonesome
I want to be loved all the time
- I have sighed, I have cried
‘Cause it seems you’ve never tried
To make me happy, when I’m by your side
And I stood for it, you’ll admit
You must think I’m made of stone
When you let me sit alone
And never try to cuddle up to me
Oh! can’t you see
