Nobody's Sweetheart Lyrics

You're nobody, nobody's sweetheart now,
There's no place for you somehow,
With all of your fancy clothes, silken gowns,
You'll be out of place in the middle of your own hometown,
When you walk down the avenue,
All the folks just can't believe that it's you.
With all those painted lips and painted eyes,
Wearing a bird of paradise,
It all seems wrong somehow,
It seems so funny,
You're nobody's sweetheart now!

_

Ev'rybody has got somebody
To tell their troubles to,
A sypathetic pal,
Or true blue regular gal,
I'm sombody who's got nobody
To go to when I'm blue,
There's love and sympathy
For ev'rybody but me.
(chorus)
Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it's breaking, who cares?
Oh, gee! Poor me!
How often I get feeling sentimental
But no one gives a continental.
Who cares how many tears I shed
At night-time when I've said
my prayers?
I'll guess I'll phone
The old maids' home
Gee whiz! How tough it is
When there's nobody who cares!
When sombody has got nobody
It makes somebody mad,
To see somebody sweet,
With ev'rybody you meet.
If nobody had anybody,
To make somebody glad.
How sad and blue like me.
Most ev'rybody would be.
