I'm Nobody's Baby

Written：Milton Ager/Lester Santly/Benny Davis
I woke up this morning and the sun was shining,
but I didn't see it.
Think I drank my orange juice, but I don't know,
I wouldn't guarantee it.
Wore my yellow dress - or was it blue?
Oh what's the use, I don't remember.
Is it Monday, is it Tuesday,
is it June or is it still December?
Sat beside my window, watched the couples strolling by
Felt so sorry for myself I couldn't even cry.
Finally I pulled the shade,
I couldn't stand the gaff.
So I sat down and wrote my epitaph.
I'm nobody's baby,
I wonder why.
Each night and day
I pray the lord up above
please send me down
somebody to love.
But nobody wants me,
I'm blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a chance with me,
because I'm nobody's baby now.
Believe me...
No, Nobody's baby,
and I've got to know the reason why.
Last week I was walkin' down the street
and met a boy and I said
"Hey, maybe I was meant for you".
But he only tipped his hat
and shook his head,
kept on walkin' down the avenue.
Oh, nobody wants me,
I'm mighty blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a little chance with me?
Because I'm no-nobody's baby.
I'm blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a chance with me?
There's no denyin' I'm cryin',
I'm lonesome on my own-some.
I don't mean maybe,
I'm nobody's baby!
