Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how he set me free, oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
Well I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see, oh, lonesome me

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all of his charm
I still love him so, mister don't you know
I'd welcome him 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
Oh, lonesome me

I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all of his charm
I still love him so, [Incomprehensible] don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

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, oh, me
