Everybody's going out, having fun I'm a fool for staying home and having none I can't get over how I got set free Oh, lonesome me Must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about my past and find someone new I thought of everything from A to Z Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me Oh, and I bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free Dancing with the boys with all their charms Oh, but I still love her so, oh and brother, don't you know That I would welcome her right back here in these arms Bad mistake I'm making by just hanging around 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, oh, lonesome me
