I Ain't Got Nobody (And Nobody Cares For Me)

There's a saying going round
I began to think it's true
It's awful hard to love someone
When they don't care about you

Once I had a loving gal
Sweetest thing in this town
Now I'm sad and lonely
She gonna turn me down (what's the matter with you, boy? What's wrong?)

Now I ain't got nobody
And 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 that pretty mama of mine
'Cause I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me, oh Lord

All right, Thomas!

Now I ain't got nobody
And 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 that pretty mama of mine
'Cause I ain't got nobody
And nobody cares for me, oh Lord
