Are you lonesome?
I wanna know if you're all alone
And you ain't got nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody to call your own
Oh, why not?
Oh, why not?
Give me a chance
I want you to come on tonight and give me a chance
Something else I wanna know right now
Are you looking
Are you looking for a friend
One who'll go with you, yeah, yeah
All the way to the end
Oh, why not?
Oh, why not?
Give me a chance
Come on and give me a chance
I'm all alone, oh yeah
On the shelf
And I'm sitting here
Said I'm sitting here all by myself
Oh yeah, oh yes I am
Don't you know that I am?
And when the night time appears
Then I'm aware, I'm aware
Oh yes I am
Don't you know that I am? Ow!
Yeah, when there's no one around
No one around, no one around
Whenever your troubles multiply
And you're gonna need somebody
You're gonna need somebody right there by your side
Oh, why not?
Lord, why not?
Give me a chance, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want you to come on right now
Come on right now
And give me a chance tonight, baby
