I Wasn't Born To Be Lonesome 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 June 2005

I feel blue, lonesome too,
I don't know just what to do;
I never get a bit of love from you.
Oh! You know it's true, yes you do.
All day long you keep away
some thing's wrong, that's why I say
You ought to have a little sympathy
Oh! Can't you see.

I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be with you.
I wouldn't mind being homesome,
if you'd only give me just a little loving.
Think of the kisses I'm missing
It's simply driving me wild,
The world owes me some loving you see,
and I want every little bit that's coming to me.
I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be loved all the time.

I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be with you.
I wouldn't mind being homesome,
if you'd only give me just a little loving.
Think of the kisses I'm missing
It's simply driving me wild,
The world owes me some loving you see,
and I want every little bit that's coming to me.
I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be loved all the time.

I have sighed, I have cried.
'Cause it seems you've never tried
to make me happy,
when I'm by your side.
And I stood for it, you'll admit.
You must think I'm made of stone
when you let me sit alone.
And never try to cuddle up to me
Oh! Can't you see.

I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be with you.
I wouldn't mind being homesome,
if you'd only give me just a little loving.
Think of the kisses I'm missing
It's simply driving me wild,
The world owes me some loving you see,
and I want every little bit that's coming to me.
I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be loved all the time.

I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be with you.
I wouldn't mind being homesome,
if you'd only give me just a little loving.
Think of the kisses I'm missing
It's simply driving me wild,
The world owes me some loving you see,
and I want every little bit that's coming to me.
I wasn't born to be lonesome
I want to be loved all the time.
