Ethel Waters — I Want Somebody All My Own

[Verse] Don't ask me why I'm worried Don't ask me why I'm sad If you only knew the half what I go through You'd know just why I feel so bad Mornin', noon, and night, I'm all alone I have no one that I can call my own [Chorus] I want somebody who's good and kind Some lovin' sweetie that I can call mine Someone who won't call me on the telephone And keep me pleadin', "Papa, please come home" I want some lovin' every now and then Who's gonna love me when that wantin' begins? I just suffer night and day Since my baby went away Gone are the days When I had somebody all my own I want somebody all my own [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I want somе lovin' every now and then Who's gonna lovе me when that wantin' begins? I just suffer night and day Since my baby went away Gone are the days, honey babe When I had somebody all my own, good Lord I want somebody all my own
