There's been a sayin' goin' round And I begin to think it's true It's awful hard to love someone When they don't care about you Once I had a lovin' gal The sweetest little thing in town But now she's gone and left me She done turn me down Now I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me! That's why I'm sad and lonely, Won't somebody come and take a chance with me? I'll sing you love songs, honey, all the time, If you'll only say you'll be sweet gal of mine, Oh, I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me!
