Baby I'm Yours
Frank Chacksfield And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
He kept on walking down the avenue
Nobody wants me
I'm mighty blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now

The chorus repeats the phrase "nobody's baby" suggesting that they are feeling abandoned and rejected.

However, the boy shakes his head and walks away, leaving the singer feeling even more alone. The lyrics capture the pain of rejection and the struggles of finding love.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of sorrow and longing. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, speaking to anyone who has ever experienced the pain of rejection and the search for love and belonging.
