I'm Nobody's Baby
Yearning for Love: The Melancholy Tale in 'I'm Nobody's Baby' by Judy Garland
Lyrics
I'm nobody's baby
I feel unclaimed or unloved by anyone.
I wonder why
I am curious about the reason for my loneliness.
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
I pray to God each night and day, asking for someone to love.
Please send me down somebody to love
I am seeking a romantic partner, and I ask God to send someone my way.
But nobody wants me
Despite my efforts, no one seems interested in me.
I'm blue somehow
I am feeling sad or downhearted.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
I appeal to someone to listen to my plea and take a chance on a relationship with me.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
I emphasize that currently, I am not in a romantic relationship.
Nobody's baby
I reiterate that I am not claimed by anyone as their romantic partner.
And I've got to know the reason why
I express a desire to understand why I am not someone's romantic interest.
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
I narrate an encounter where I approached a boy last week.
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
I suggest that I might have felt a connection with him and expressed it.
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
The boy rejects the idea, shaking his head and saying goodbye.
He kept on walking down the avenue
He continues walking away, not reciprocating my interest.
Nobody wants me
I reiterate that no one seems to be interested in me romantically.
I'm mighty blue somehow
I emphasize my state of sadness or loneliness.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
I plead once again for someone to take a chance on a relationship with me.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
I restate that currently, I am not someone's romantic partner.
