I'm Nobody's Baby - Ruth Etting

I used to be my mother’s baby

When I was near, my dad went wild

Whenever we had company, they’d bounce me on their knee

The neighbors thought I was a darling child

Once, I was everybody’s baby

But right now, I’m lonesome as can be

You see, I’m nobody’s baby

I wonder why

Each night and day, I pray the Lord up above

To please send me down somebody to love

'Cause nobody wants me

I’m blue somehow

Won’t someone hear my plea?

Come take a little chance with me

Because I’m nobody’s baby now

I’m no-no, no-no-nobody's baby

I, I just wonder why

Each night and day, night and day, I pray, I pray the Lord up above

To please, please send me down some sweet, somebody to love

Because no-no, no-no-nobody wants me

I’m, I’m blue somehow

Won’t someone hear my plea?

Come take a little chance with me

Because I’m no-no, no-no-no-nobody's baby now
