Lyrics
Just look at me, I think my heart will break
Nobody seems to take me seriously.
Honestly, I’m just as lonely as a man can be.
The days mean nothing at all
And when the shadows fall
The moon is only wasting time on me
Candidly, there must be something very wrong with me
Refrain:
I’ve a pair of arms to hug and hold
But nobody’s using them now
I’ve loads of love that could be told
But nobody’s using it now
I’ve a world of time that’s all my own
They say that you go silly if you spend it alone
I’m telling the truth, I’m just wasting my youth
‘Cause nobody’s using it, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody’s using it now
Refrain:
I’ve a big settee with patent springs
But nobody’s using it now
I’ve some pleasing ways and other things
But nobody’s using them now
I’m a family man who’s out of sorts
I’m just a loving papa to a lot of great thoughts
I blush to admit I have plenty of it
But nobody’s using it, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody’s using it now
