Nobody

Words & Music: Barry Crompton

I got lots of money
I ain’t got no honey
I ain’t got nobody to love me

I got diamonds; I got pearls
More than enough for any girl
But I ain’t got nobody to love me

You’d think a girl with my outstanding qualities
Could find a man
To give a little love to me

Well, I wander ‘round my big home
Drink my vodka all alone and
I ain’t got nobody to love me

I got style and savoir faire
Whatever that is I got a bunch to spare
But I ain’t got nobody to love me

You’d think a girl with my fine sensibilities
Could find a man
To give me a little squeeze

Now I don’t know where I’m going wrong
Men don’t stick around too long
And I ain’t got nobody to love me

I’ve had lovers loving me, the
Last two died suspiciously
Now I ain’t got nobody to love me
I’m patient when my man wrongs me
My pistol sees it differently
And I ain’t got nobody to love me

I got lots of money
I ain’t got no honey
I ain’t got nobody to love me
I ain’t got nobody to love me
I ain’t got nobody to love me
