I'm Nobody Baby
Garland Judy 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

I'm nobody's baby
I am not in a relationship with anyone and feel alone
I wonder why
I am curious about why I am not in a relationship
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
I ask God to send someone to love me
Please send me down somebody to love
I want God to send me a loving partner
But nobody wants me
I feel unwanted by others
I'm blue somehow
I feel sad and depressed
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
I hope someone will listen to me and give me a chance in a relationship
Because I'm nobody's baby now
I feel like I am alone with no one to love me
And I've got to know the reason why
I need to know why I am alone
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
I met a boy while I was out walking
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
I thought maybe the boy and I were meant to be together
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
The boy rejected my advances and said he was not interested
He kept on walking down the avenue
The boy walked away from me
Nobody wants me
I feel like no one wants me
I'm mighty blue somehow
I feel very sad and depressed
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
I hope someone will listen to me and give me a chance in a relationship
Because I'm nobody's baby now
I feel like I am alone with no one to love me

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining,
but I didn't see it.
Think I drank my orange juice, but I don't know,
I wouldn't guarantee it.
Wore my yellow dress, or was it blue?
Oh what's the use, I don't remember.
Is it Monday, is it Tuesday,
is it June or is it still December?
Sat beside my window, watched the couples strolling by
Felt so sorry for myself I couldn't even cry.
Finally I pulled the shade,
I couldn't stand the gaff.
So I sat down and wrote my epitaph.
I'm nobody's baby,
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,
because I'm nobody's baby now.
Believe me
No, Nobody's baby,
and I've got to know the reason why.
Last week I was walkin' down the street
and met a boy and I said
"Hey, maybe I was meant for you".
But he only tipped his hat
and shook his head,
kept on walkin' down the avenue.
Oh, nobody wants me,
I'm mighty blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a little chance with me?
Because I'm no-nobody's baby.
I'm blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a chance with me?
There's no denyin' I'm cryin',
I'm lonesome on my own-some.
I don't mean maybe,
I'm nobody's baby

The only one who could give her a run for her money was Deanna Durbin. Both were sensational.

I hear these wonderful early 40s recordings and remember - Judy Garland started out as a pop sensation - her seamless delivery, her perfect control and flawless intonation - and the pop style of the day which she absolutely embodied - using vibrato for emotional effect, sliding up to the next note in an exaggerated 'crooning' style and singing in a throbbing low register - she was a master.
