Everybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Everybody's thinking about somebody else
But nobody thinks about 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
Nobody is lonesome for me

Everybody's longing for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Everybody's dreaming about 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 come riding in on a broom
Everybody's lonesome for somebody else
Nobody is lonesome for me

Everybody's pining for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Everybody's crazy about somebody else
But nobody's crazy about me
Oh, I shine up my shoes and then I slick down my hair
Put on my Sunday suit, but I ain't going nowhere
Everybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me

Everybody's yearning for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Everybody's falling for somebody else
But nobody's falling 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
Nobody's lonesome for me
