Hey Won't You Play (Another Somebody)

Sammy Davis Jr. · Other Songs - Sammy Davis Jr.

It's lonesome out tonight

And the feeling just got right for a brand new love song

Somebody done somebody wrong song

Hey, won't you play another

Somebody done somebody wrong song

And make me feel at home

While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So play, play for me a sad melody

So sad that it makes everybody cry

A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong

'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone

Hey, won't you play another

Somebody done somebody wrong song

And make me feel at home

While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So play, play for me a sad melody

So sad that it makes everybody cry

A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong

'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone

Hey, won't you play another

Somebody done somebody wrong song

And make me feel at home

While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

Won't you play another

Somebody done somebody wrong song

And make me feel at home

While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby, my baby
