Sittin' In A Corner 1923

No matter when or where
it happens to be
Nobody pays the least attention to me
While ev'ryone has fun
I'm just in the way
That's why I've grown
more lonesome ev'ry day.

Sittin' in a corner
that's all I do
Sittin' in a corner
was meant for two
I find a corner where
There should be a loving pair
But always wind up there
All alone and blue,
Sittin' in a corner
they pass me by
No one ever finds me
I wonder why.
If you had nobody near you
To cheer you
you'd be sittin' in a corner
The same as me.

Sittin' in a corner
that's all I do
Sittin' in a corner
was meant for two
I find a corner where
There should be a loving pair
But always wind up there
All alone and blue,
Sittin' in a corner
they pass me by
No one ever finds me
I wonder why.
If you had nobody near you
To cheer you
you'd be sittin' in a corner
The same as me.

Each night at eight
I wait for someone to 'phone,
I sit up late
and hate to sit up alone,
I just go out
about one night in the week.
But never find
the happiness I seek.

Sittin' in a corner
that's all I do
Sittin' in a corner
was meant for two
I find a corner where
There should be a loving pair
But always wind up there
All alone and blue,
Sittin' in a corner
they pass me by
No one ever finds me
I wonder why.
If you had nobody near you
To cheer you
you'd be sittin' in a corner
The same as me.

Sittin' in a corner
that's all I do
Sittin' in a corner
was meant for two
I find a corner where
There should be a loving pair
But always wind up there
All alone and blue,
Sittin' in a corner
they pass me by
No one ever finds me
I wonder why.
If you had nobody near you
To cheer you
you'd be sittin' in a corner
The same as me.
