Now everybody that knows me
Knows just the way I feel
When my baby ain't around
I've lots of time to kill
I ain't into playing, no sir,
I don't run around
But, I'll be awful lonesome
'Till my sugar's back in town

Cause they ain't nobody's blues but my own
When my gal's gone they come around
Until she comes back home
It's the worst kind of heartache that I've known
Yeah, they ain't nobody's blues but my own

There's lots of pretty women
But only one can have my heart
Brother when she ain't around
My whole world just falls apart
But according to my schedule
She's gonna be back soon
Tonight I'll sleep out on the porch
Underneath that lonesome moon

You can have your cheap motels
And running around 'till late
Living in that kind of place
Is loving second rate
I've got myself a fine gal
Together we'll go far
If I mean the world to her
Then she's my lucky star
