i love somebody named lovey

please don't tell anybody

lovey has no money

or hope of a job

yeah, take a look at the room

that pearl is a slob

why o why do I love lovey?



i hung a picture on the wall

if you see what i saw then you'd know it all

smiling like an angel

eyes honest and true

if you got introduced

well, you'd love lovey too

my o my that lovey



someday

you might have to wander

away from me

if you go far

hop into a car

and come to visit

come to visit me



i love somebody named lovey

yes i do

and you don't have to tell me

i'm lucky

some people are lonely

cryin' in the beer

but i got so much love

the aches and the pains

and the moaning and the groaning disappear

(for a while)

time after time with lovey



someday

you might have to wander

away from me

if you go far

i wish upon a star

you come to visit

come to visit me
