Lyrics
- My life hasn’t been so rosy
Never had a love affair
Altho’ my parlor chair is nice and cozy
Nobody’s ever there
I’m lonely, so lonely haven’t a friend
How is it all goin’ to end?
You see I’m
Chorus
Somebody nobody loves
They pass me by
A lot of others I know
Have sweeties more than their share
I must be slow
I never get anywhere
It seems I’m somebody nobody wants
I wonder why?
I’ve waited patiently
What will become of me?
Gee, I’m somebody nobody loves
- I have had my share of sorrow
Good luck never comes my way
I always keep on hoping that tomorrow
Will be a brighter day
I’m worried, so worried, heart-sick and blue
No one knows what I’ve gone through
You see I’m
