Feeling the way I do,
|
I'd like to say, "I do!"
|
Heaving a heavenly sigh
|
Everybody has someone
|
Why can't I?
|
|
Creeping to bed alone,
|
Resting my head alone
|
Only my pillow nearby
|
Some have a reason for dreaming
|
Why can't I?
|
|
I feel forsaken
|
On nights like this
|
Can't I awaken
|
To someone's kiss?
|
|
Two feet are ever cold
|
Four feet are never cold
|
I only mean to imply:
|
Everybody has someone
|
Why can't I?
|
|
Should girls be good girls?
|
I think they should
|
I need a good man
|
To make me be good
|
|
Only my book in bed
|
Knows how I look in bed
|
Nobody hears when I cry
|
Everybody has someone
|
Why can't I?
|
