Somebody Nobody Loves

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

I'm somebody nobody loves

Oh me oh my my my

I'm somebody nobody loves

I wonder why why why



Although I know it sounds alarming

I've prayed on bended knee

For that certain gay Prince Charming

Who was meant for me



I've got to find me a somebody soon

Or else I'll die die die

I take the man in the moon

If he would give me a try

I'm just a lonely Cinderella

That romance passes by

I'm somebody nobody loves

Oh me oh my



If you feel the fates are against you

'Cause the best things in life pass you by

Look at me

Look at me



I've sent lots of letters to cupid

But he's a hard-to-get guy

Look at me

Oh, look at me



I'm somebody nobody loves

Oh me oh my my my

I'm somebody nobody loves

I wonder why why why



Although I know it sounds alarming

I've prayed on bended knee

For that certain gay Prince Charming

Who was meant for me



I've got to find me a somebody soon

Or else I'll die die die

I take the man in the moon

If he would give me a try

I'm just a lonely Cinderella

That romance passes by

I'm somebody nobody loves

Oh me oh my
