Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
I'm gonna search the whole world over
Find me somebody somewhere
Everybody needs someone, someone to call their own
Everybody needs someone, someone to call their own
But I've got to find somebody
I'm leaving tomorrow to find the girl I'm thinking of
I'm leavin'g tomorrow to find the girl I'm thinking of
I'll be so happy when I find her
'Cause she's the only one I'll love

Those early Imperial "scripts" were just beautiful. That's one of the things I miss most about records - the beautiful labels...RCA Victor, Rama, Chess, Sun, Atlantic, Vee Jay, Checker, Josie, Gee...the list is endless.

@doowopman49 It's amazing the rapid change that happened in the fifties and continued to a peak in Nov '63 with our trajedy of JFKs assassination, later riots, Watergate. Oh I forgot...Vietnam. Forgive my rant.
