Lyrics
Chorus:
If I can’t have you, nobody but you-oo-oo
I want to be lonesome, I want to be blue
Wherever I go, whatever I do-oo-oo
I’m all by my ownsome, just thinking of you
I’m missing that sweet embrace, that feeling of bliss
Nobody can take your place when I’m feeling like this
So, if I can’t have you, nobody but you-oo-oo
I want to be lonesome, I want to be blue
