Wanda Jackson - What Do You Do When You're Lonesome? Lyrics

Now what do you do when you’re lonesome?
Where do you go when you’re blue?
And how do you deal with such emotion?
When you’re just an ordinary fool

And do you hang your head then walk the streets
Hoping no one sees your face
Wishing you were someone else
Somewhere far away

Do you stay out late nights drinking?
Trying to smile through
A pain that everybody knows
Is tearing you in two

So what do you do when you’re lonesome?
Where do you go when you’re blue?
And how do you deal with such emotion?
When you’re just an ordinary fool

Now some have tried changes
Of geography and such
Others have locked their hearts away
For fear they’ll fall in love

But still there’s some far too dumb
To know there’s something wrong
And they waste their lives wondering why
And waking up alone

So what do you do when you’re lonesome?
Where do you go when you’re blue?
And how do you deal with such emotion?
When you’re just an ordinary fool

Now what do you do when you’re lonesome?
Where do you go when you’re blue?
And how do you deal with such emotion?
When you’re just an ordinary fool
When you’re just an ordinary fool
