I'm Nobody's Baby
Yearning for Love: Echoes of Loneliness in 'I'm Nobody's Baby'
Lyrics
I'm nobody's baby
Feeling unclaimed and without a romantic partner.
I wonder why
Expressing curiosity or frustration about the lack of a partner.
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Praying to a higher power for assistance in finding love.
Please send me down somebody to love
Pleading for the divine to send a suitable person to love.
But nobody wants me
Feeling undesirable or unattractive to others.
I'm blue somehow
Experiencing sadness or melancholy.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Pleading for someone to take a chance on forming a relationship.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Confirming the current status of being unattached or single.
Nobody's baby
Reiterating the lack of a romantic partner.
And I've got to know the reason why
Expressing a desire to understand why there is no romantic interest.
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
Recalling an encounter with a potential romantic interest.
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
Suggesting the possibility of being meant for the person encountered.
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
Receiving rejection as the person declines the connection.
He kept on walking down the avenue
Witnessing the person continuing without forming a relationship.
Nobody wants me
Reiterating the feeling of being unwanted by others.
I'm mighty blue somehow
Emphasizing the depth of sadness or emotional state.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Repeating the plea for someone to take a chance on a relationship.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Reaffirming the current status of being without a romantic partner.
