I used to be my mother's baby
When I was near, my dad went wild
Whenever we had company, they'd bounce me on their knee
The neighbors thought I was a darling child

Once, I was everybody's baby
But right now, I'm lonesome as can be

You see, I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day, I pray the Lord up above
To please send me down somebody to love
'Cause nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea? Come take a little chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now

[Instrumental Break]

I'm no-no, no-no-nobody's baby
I, I just wonder why
Each night and day, night and day, I pray, I pray the Lord up above
To please, please send me down some sweet, somebody to love
Because no-no, no-no-nobody wants me
I'm, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea? Come take a little chance with me
Because I'm no-no, no-no-no-nobody's baby now
