Pretty girls all around
But I'm the saddest guy in town
Because I'm lonesome for my baby
Lots of things to see and do
I sit around a-feelin' blue
Because I'm lonesome for my baby
Wonderin' if those tears in her eyes
Meant she wasn't happy when we said our last goodbyes
Lots of friends that I could call
It wouldn't suit me none at all
Because I'm lonesome just for my baby
Close my eyes, I can see
The only one that's meant for me
Because I'm lonesome for my baby
She's the one I'll always miss
I never will get used to this
Because I'm lonesome for my baby
Wonderin' if those tears in her eyes
Meant she wasn't happy when we said our last goodbyes
Lots of friends that I could call
They wouldn't suit me none at all
Because I'm lonesome just for my baby
