Lyrics | I Ain't Got Nobody (1955)
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
