There's a saying going 'round
I began to think it's true (what you talkin' 'bout boy?)
It's awful hard to love someone
When they don't care about you

Once I had a loving gal
Sweetest honey in town (uh huh)
Now I'm sad and lonely
She gone and turned me down (what's the matter with you, boy? What's wrong?)

Now I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, oh Lord
That's why I'm so sad and lonely
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?

I'll sing you sweet love songs, honey, all of the time
If you'll only be the pretty mama of mine
'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, oh Lord

All right, Tommy

Now I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, oh Lord
That's why I'm so sad and lonely
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?

I'll sing you sweet love songs, honey, all of the time
If you'll only be the pretty mama of mine
'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, oh Lord
