Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I aint got no one to talk to- nobody calls my name
No I aint got no one to talk to- nobody calls my name
Ue ue ue I got the all by myself blues
I just cant lose these all by myself blues
Well I aint got no one to hear me - when I sigh in the night
No I aint got no one to hear me - when I sigh in the night
Ue ue ue I got the all my myself blues
I just cant loose these all by myself blues
Well I aint got no one to hold me when I feel the need
No I aint got no one to hold me when I feel the need
Ue ue ue I got the all by myself blues
I just can?t lose these all by myself blues
