I'm Nobody's Baby    (1921)

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

Lyrics by Benny Davis, Milton Ager and Lester Santly.
