Written by Benny Davis, Lester Santly, Milton Ager
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 neighbours 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 no- nobody's baby, I wonder why Each night and day I pray the Lord up above Oh, please send me down somebody to love 'Cause no- 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
[*Fox Trot - Marion Harris Ver. only*]
I'm no- nobody's baby I, wonder why I am behind of loving down to a plea I pray, the Lord send me down some kind of lover, please Cause no- nobody wants me I'm, blue somehow Won't someone hear tonight, I take my day off, and he'll be a little kind Because I'm nobody's baby now
