Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Every night you’ll see her at a party
She has her fun, but not with one
I suppose she thinks that she’s a “smarty”
But some fine day, she’ll have to pay
Chorus
She’s everybody’s sweetheart, but nobody’s gal
She has everything but love
When her good time friends have parted
She will find herself just where she started
Every night she’s dancing with somebody else
Fellows like her as a pal
But they take home another
To introduce to mother
She’s just nobody’s gal
- At each wedding she’s the maid of honor
It hurts inside to kiss the bride
Wasted years have left their mark upon her
Why did she play her life away?
