Everybody's lonesome for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me So everybody's thinkin' of somebody else but nobody's thinkin' 'bout 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 Everybody's lonesome for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me. Everybody's longin' for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's dreamin' bout somebody else but nobody dreams about me All I need is a bride who wants a big hearted groom I wouldn't care if she came ridin' in on a broom Everybody's lonesome for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me. --- Instrumental --- Everybody's pinin' for somebody else but nobody's pinin' for me Everybody's crazy bout somebody else but nobody's crazy bout me Oh I shine up my shoes and then I slick down my hair Put on my Sunday suit but I ain't goin' nowhere Everybody's lonesome for somebody else but bobody's lonesome for me. Everybody's yearnin' for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me Everybody'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 Everybody's lonesome for somebody else but nobody's lonesome for me
