Why Can’t I?

Lyrics

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?
