Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was, I said

Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was

My baby quit me for a long tall handsome man

With something I ain’t got

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

When I’m not, I feel so lonesome

Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was, I said

Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was

Any time that I telephone

She don’t return my call

If I can’t smile when I feel blue

Man I’d never smile at all, bee-bop-a-dee-boo

Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was, I said

Nothing, nothing can be right

When everything is wrong

Nothing can be wrong when I’m walking with my baby

I wish that I was, wrong
