I'm Nobody's Baby
Mindy Carson 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 singer wonders why nobody wants her despite praying to the Lord above every night and day to send someone to love her. She is blue and feels rejected since nobody hears her plea and takes a chance with her. The song indicates that she is single and has been unable to find love. The opening line, "I'm nobody's baby," reflects her feeling of a lack of belonging or attachment to anyone, and the repetition of this phrase emphasizes her loneliness.
The singer encounters a boy while walking down the street and feels a connection with him. She thinks that she might have found someone who was meant for her and says, "Hey! Maybe I was meant for you." Still, the boy shakes his head and says goodbye, leaving her to feel rejected once again. This experience re-emphasizes the feeling of being unwanted by anyone, and she questions why nobody wants her. In the chorus she repeats, "Because I am nobody's baby now" and stresses her loneliness.
Overall, the song expresses the feeling of being unloved and the desire to find a partner. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the loneliness of the singer, and the verse discusses her attempts to find love.
