everybody's going out and havin' fun
i'm just a fool for staying home and havin' none
i can't get over how he set me free oh lonesome me
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
i'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
flirting with the girls with all his charms
but i still love him so, and brother don't you know
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
