Lyrics:
First verse
I'm so unhappy What'll I do, I long for somebody who, will sympathize with me; I'm growing so tired of living alone, I lie awake all night and cry Nobody loves me that's why.
Chorus
All by myself in the morning All by myself in the night; I sit alone in a cosy Morris chair, So unhappy there Playing solitaire All by myself I get lonely Watching the clock on the shelf I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder I hate to grow older All by myself. All by myself in the morning All by myself in the night; I sit alone in a cosy Morris chair, So unhappy there Playing solitaire All by myself I get lonely Watching the clock on the shelf I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder I hate to grow older All by myself.
Second verse
My name and number are in the book, The one that hangs on a hook, In almost ev'ry drug store; Why don't someone bother to look, My central tells me all day long Sorry the number is wrong.
(Chorus)
