Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's thinkin' 'bout somebody else
But nobody thinks about me

When the time rolls around for me to lay down and die
I bet I'll have to go and hire me someone to cry
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
Nobody is lonesome for me

Ev'rybody's longin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's dreamin' 'bout 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
Nobody 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've been cheated out of my rib
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
Nobody lonesome for me
