Lyrics
- I’m so tired of wondering what to do
All day long I sit and think of you
Wondering why you went away
Hoping that you’re coming back some day
Chorus:
What’s a fellow goin’ to do
When his best girl goes
How’s he goin’ to get along
I want to know
If he loves her and is true
Not another girl will do
Tho’ a million others wat him for a beau
Gee, it’s tough to be alone
With no one to call your own
When you’ve grown so used to having her around
I can’t help from feeling blue
And I know that she does, too
Someone tell me what’s a fellow goin’ to do
- Thinking that you never may return
Ofttimes cold as stone my heart will turn
Thru the long and sleepless night
Praying that you’ll come with morning light
