I Want Somebody All My Own by Ethel Waters Lyrics

[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
