Why Can't I

Feeling the way I do,

I'd like to say, "I do!"

Heaving a heavenly sigh

Everybody has someone

Why can't I?Creeping to bed alone,

Resting my head alone

Only my pillow nearby

Some have a reason for dreaming

Why can't I?

I feel forsaken

On nights like this

Can't I awaken

To someone's kiss?Two feet are ever cold

Four feet are never cold

I only mean to imply:

Everybody has someone

Why can't I?Should girls be good girls?

I think they should

I need a good man

To make me be good

Only my book in bed

Knows how I look in bed

Nobody hears when I cry

Everybody has someone

Why can't I?
