I used to be my mother's baby
When I was near my dad went wild
Whenever we had company
They'd bounce me on their knee
The neighbors thought I was a darling child
Once I was everybody's baby
But right now I'm lonesome as can be
You see I'm no-, nobody's baby, I wonder why?
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But no-, nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a little chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
You see I'm no-, nobody's baby, I wonder why?
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But no-, nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
The way I feel today, I'd like to pass away
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Now that my baby days are over
I long for things that I had then
I miss the little girls and boys
I miss my dolls and toys
Oh how I wish I were a kid again
I guess there's lots of grown up babies
Feel like me and need some sympathy
You see I'm no-, nobody's baby, I wonder why?
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But no-, nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a little chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
You see I'm no-, nobody's baby, I wonder why?
I've got the art of loving down to a "T"
Won't some lonely heart climb my balcony?
Cause no-, nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
But with those hearts so fine, I'll take most any kind
Because I'm nobody's baby now
