I ain’t blue, baby
Just a little bit lonesome for some lovin’
Everything is fine
Just don’t want to be all by myself

On a rainy day
I’m feelin’ kind of funny
Dreaming ’bout some loverman who’ll call me honey
Yeah and a good lookin’ man
My heart inside
A lonely smile and lovin’ in his eyes

No I ain’t blue, baby
But I’m just a little bit lonesome for some love again
Everything is fine
Just don’t want to be all by myself

Sit around the house
Readin’ magazines
All the time thinkin’ ’bout those same sweet dreams
Yeah, walk down the street
My heart jumps a beat
Every time I see some sweet man I want to meet

No I ain’t blue, baby
But I’m just a little bit lonesome for some love again
Everything is fine
I just don’t want to be all by myself
