Somebody Nobody Wants
Dion · Runaround Sue [1993]
(Nobody wants me) nobody wants me
Everybody that I see
Seems to have someone but me
Arm in arm they walk along
Why does life treat me so wrong?
Wish somebody wanted me
Because I just don't wanna be
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Saturday's another night
Just like any other night
Everybody's feelin' great
Everybody's got a date
All of them have fun but me
Why why why must I be
Just another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Feel like my heart's about to breakI'm so sad
I want a girl to love meI want her bad
I sit up in my lonely room
Somethin's gotta happen soon
Wond'rin' why I'm all alone
Want somebody of my own
Someone who will care a lot
Someone who will prove I'm not
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
Feel like my heart's about to breakI'm so sad
I want a girl to love meI want her bad
I sit up in my lonely room
Somethin's gotta happen soon
Wond'rin' why I'm all alone
Want somebody of my own
Someone who will care a lot
Someone who will prove I'm not
Another somebody nobody wants
(Nobody wants)
(Nobody wants me) Nobody wants me
(Nobody wants me) Nobody wants me
