I’m Nobody’s Baby

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

Please send me down somebody to love

But nobody wants me

I'm blue somehow

Won't someone hear my plea

And take a chance with me

Because I'm nobody's baby now
