Lyrics
- Ev’rybody has got somebody to tell their troubles to
A sympathetic pal or true blue regular gal
I’m somebody who’s got nobody to go to when I’m blue
There’s love and sympathy for ev’rybody but me
Chorus
Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it’s breaking, who cares?
Oh, Gee! poor me!
How often I get feeling sentimental
But no one gives a continental
Who cares how many tears I shed
At nightime when I’ve said my pray’rs?
I guess I’ll phone the old maids’ home
Gee whiz! how tough it is
When there’s nobody who cares
- When somebody has got somebody it makes somebody mad
To see somebody sweet with ev’rybody you meet
If nobody had anybody to make somebody glad
How sad and blue like me most ev’rybody would be
Sung here by Fred Feild:
