Feeling the way I do, I'd like to say "I do!" Heaving a heavenly sigh Everybody has a someone Why can't I? Creeping to bed alone, resting my head alone Only my pillow nearby Some have a reason for dreaming Why can't I? I feel forsaken on nights like this Can't I awaken to someone's kiss? Only my book in bed knows how I look in bed Nobody hears when I cry Everybody has someone Why can't I? Feeling the way I do I'd like to say "I do!" Nature is hard to deny Everybody has a someone
Why can't I? Feeling the way I do, I'd like to say "I do!" Nature is hard to deny Everybody has a someone Why can't I? If love brings merriment, I must experiment With some electrical guy Even old maids find a burglar Why can't I? Should girls be good girls? I think they should I need a good man to make me be good Two feet are ever cold Four feet are never cold I only mean to imply: Everybody has someone Why can't I? Everybody needs someone Why can't I?
