Lyrics

  1. I’m sad and lonely
    There’s a good reason why
    Nobody cares about me
    That’s why I’m sad as can be
    I long for someone
    Somebody, yes indeed
    Lovin’ kisses from one
    Is exactly what I need

Chorus
Many’s the time I feel so lonesome
But nobody knows and nobody cares
I’ve grown so tired of being by “my own some”
I want somebody to hug
Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in a rug
Many’s the time I feel like spooning
But nobody knows and nobody cares
I guess I’ll make out a little “ad”
That I want some lovin’ so bad
‘Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care

  1. I’d love a sweetie
    Hanging around the place
    Someone to worry about
    I’d never want to go out
    My home is gloomy
    Nobody’s there that’s why
    I feel “bride and groomy”
    Can’t you see it in my eye
