Nobody's Lovin' Me (1950)
Lonnie Johnson · The Rhythm & Blues Years Vol. 2 1947-52 [2003]
I am cryin', yes cryin', I'm so full of misery.
'Cause I'm lovin' somebody, and there's nobody lovin' me.
I'm wondering, yes wondering, just how foolish I must be,
To keep on lovin' somebody, when there's nobody lovin' me.
Bridge: Right way of livin', I thought I really learned, it's better to give than to take.
My love I was givin', for nothin' in return, and that's where I made my mistake.
So, someday, yes someday, you will know what I'm goin' through.
If you'll be lovin' somebody, when there's nobody lovin' me.
Bridge: [half bridge piano solo with accompaniment]
My love I was givin', for nothin' in return, and that's where I made my mistake.
So-o-o-o someday, yes someday, you will know what I'm goin' through.
If you'll be lovin' somebody, when there's nobody lovin' me.
When there's nobody lovin' me.
'Cause I'm lovin' somebody, and there's nobody lovin' me.
I'm wondering, yes wondering, just how foolish I must be,
To keep on lovin' somebody, when there's nobody lovin' me.

When there's nobody lovin' me.
