[g] ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else

But nobody's lonesome for [d7] me

Ev'rybody's thinkin' 'bout somebody else

But nobody thinks about [g] me

When the [c] time rolls around for me to [g] lay down and die

I bet [d7] i'll have to go and hire me [a7] someone to [d7] cry

[g] ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else

[d7] nobody is lonesome for [g] me.



Ev'rybody's longin' for somebody else

But nobody's lonesome for me

Ev'rybody's dreamin' about somebody else

But nobody dreams about me

All i need is a bride who want's a big-hearted groom

I wouldn't care if she come ridin' in on a broom

Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else

No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.



Ev'rybody's pinin' for somebody else

But nobody's lonesome for me

Ev'rybody's crazy 'bout somebody else

But nobody's crazy 'bout me

Oh, i shined up my shoes and then i slicked down my hair

Put on my sunday suit, but i ain't goin' nowhere

Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else

But nobody's lonesome for me.



Ev'rybody's yearnin' for somebody else

But nobody's lonesome for me

Ev'rybody's fallin' for somebody else

But nobody's fallin' for me

Now i ain't had a kiss since i fell out of my crib

It looks to me like i been cheated out of my rib

Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else

No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.
