Lyrics
Refrain
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I’m lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I’m blue
It seems that night after night
I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs
But still I keep right on hopin’
Keep the door open, but nobody comes
Ain’t it a crime
Kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I’m a tot, I’m singin’
“What’ll I do?” (Boo-hoo)
Like a plaything on the shelf
Guess I’ll have to play by myself
‘Cause nobody knows
Nobody cares if I’m blue
Refrain
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I’m lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I’m blue
It seems that night after night
I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs
But still I keep right on hopin’
Keep the door open, but nobody comes
Ain’t it a crime
Kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I’m a tot, I’m singin’
“What’ll I do?” (Boo-hoo)
Gonna find myself a dock
I’m just coo-coo, watching the clock
‘Cause nobody knows
Nobody cares if I’m blue
