Why Can't I?

Feeling the way I do

I'd like to say, 'I do'

Heaving a heavenly sigh

Everybody has a 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?

Only my book in bed

Knows how I look in bed

Nobody hears when I cry

Everybody has someone

Why can't I?

Feeling the way I do

I'd like to say, 'I do'

Nature is hard to deny

Everybody has a someone

Why can't I?

Feeling the way I do

I'd like to say, 'I do'

Nature is hard to deny

Everybody has a someone

Why can't I?

If love brings merriment

I must experiment

With some electrical guy

Even old maids find a burglar

Why can't I?

Should girls be good girls?

I think they should

I need a good man

To make me be good

Two feet are ever cold

Four feet are never cold

I only mean to imply

Everybody has someone

Why can't I?

Everybody needs someone

Why can't I?
