LYRICS

Everybody's going out and having fun

I'm just a fool for staying home and having none

I can't get over how she set me free

Oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making 'bout just hanging 'round

I know that I should have some fun and ain't to town

A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see

Oh, lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me

She's out and fancy free

Flirting with the boys with all her charms

But I still love her so

And brother don't you know

I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues

Forget about the past and find somebody new

I've thought of everything from A to Z

Oh, lonesome me

Well, I bet she's not like me

She's out and fancy free

Flirting with the boys with all her charms

But I still love her so

And brother don't you know

I'd welcome her right back here my arms

Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues

Forget about the past and find somebody new

I've thought of everything from A to Z

Oh, lonesome me

Oh, lonesome me
