I'm Nobody's Baby
Yearning for Love: The Melancholy Tale in 'I'm Nobody's Baby' by Roy Eldridge
Lyrics
I'm nobody's baby
I am not in a romantic relationship with anyone.
I wonder why
I am curious about the reason for my current relationship status.
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Every day and night, I pray to God, asking for someone to love.
Please send me down somebody to love
I am seeking companionship and hope for someone to be sent into my life.
But nobody wants me
Despite my efforts, it seems that nobody is interested in me.
I'm blue somehow
I feel sad and downhearted.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
I appeal to anyone who can hear me, asking them to take a chance on being with me.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Currently, I don't belong to anyone romantically.
Nobody's baby
Reiteration of the fact that I am not in a romantic relationship with anyone.
And I've got to know the reason why
Expressing a desire to understand the reason behind my single status.
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
Recalling an encounter where I approached someone expressing a potential romantic connection.
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
Suggesting that I may have thought we were meant for each other.
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
However, the person I approached rejected the idea and bid farewell.
He kept on walking down the avenue
The person continued walking away without showing interest.
Nobody wants me
Reiterating the feeling of being unwanted by others.
I'm mighty blue somehow
Emphasizing the sadness and loneliness I am experiencing.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Continuing the plea for someone to take a chance on being with me.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Repeating that I am currently not in a romantic relationship with anyone.
