Lyrics
- I don’t like to complain
But I think it’s a shame
I don’t know what the word love means
Ev’ry one I know
Have someone they love so
I’ve been forgotten it seems
Chorus
Poor little me always lonesome and sad
Poor little me always getting in bad
No matter what I do or say
Somehow I’m always in the way
By thunder! I wonder
Will my luck change some day
I’ve tried to be just as nice as I should
But I can see there’s no fun being good
(1. I sit at home but no one calls
I’m tired of looking at the four bare walls)
(2. Nobody ever takes me out
They say I don’t know what it’s all about)
So don’t you feel sorry
For poor little me
- Good luck passes me by
I keep wondering why
Seems I just can’t go on this way
I keep dreaming of
Somebody I could love
I hope it comes true someday
