There's a saying going 'round
And I begin to think it's true
It's awful hard to love someone
When they don't care 'bout you
Once I had a lovin' man
As good as any in this town
But now I'm sad and lonely
For he's gone and turned me down
I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me
(I got the blues)
(The weary blues)
And I'm sad and lonely
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?
I'll sing sweet love songs, honey, all the time
If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine
Cause I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me
Won't somebody go and find
My man and bring him back to me
It's awful hard to be alone
And without sympathy
Once I was a lovin' gal
As good as any in this town
But since my baby left me
I'm a gal with heart bowed-down
I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?
I'll sing sweet love songs, honey, all the time
If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine
Cause I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me
