OPENER - CLOSER Mainstream: Sides face, grand square
*If I came to your table, would I be able to say
The right words to hold you, the right words to take you away
Circle left
'Cause I ain't got nobody
Left allemande, promenade
You look like somebody who needs somebody
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression: Heads square thru 4 hands around the ring you go
Dosado and make a wave
Swing thru tonight, boys run to the right
Bend the line, right & left thru, flutter wheel
Slide thru, swing and promenade
You look like somebody who needs somebody
MIDDLE BREAK Basic: Four ladies chain, turn and chain 'em home again
Join hands circle left movin' round the ring you go

'Cause I ain't got nobody
Dosado, promenade
You look like somebody who needs somebody

I sure have missed you, maybe I was wrong, who cares who's right

I Ain't Got Nobody (1955)

Lyrics ID: 4465

I've been watching you sitting there alone just like me
I've seen your glances been wondering what my chances would be
If I came to your table would I be able to say
The right words to hold you, the right words to take you away?

'Cause I ain't got nobody
And you look like somebody
Who needs somebody
Who wants somebody just like me

You don't need to tell me what made you come in here tonight
I sure have missed you and seeing you again is a pretty sight
Maybe I was wrong, who cares who is wrong or who is right?
Let's pretend it never happened, let me take you back home tonight

'Cause I ain't got nobody
And you look like somebody
Who needs somebody
Who wants somebody just like me

Lyrics by John Lee Hooker.
