Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home having none
I can't get over how he set me free, oh, lonesome me

Well, a bad mistake I'm making by just hanging 'round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see' oh' lonesome me

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
But I still love him so and brother don't you know

Well, I'd welcome him right back here in my arms
Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z, oh, lonesome me

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
But I still love him so and brother don't you know

Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me
