Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
Oh I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ guitar ]
Oh I'll bet she's not like me...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me oh lonesome me
