Sometimes I Wonder
Nat King Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All by myself alone at home a feeling blue
Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you
I wonder if you're dancing, with somebody new
I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder
No matter which side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on
My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the day dream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
You care for someone else, I see
Well, then it's quite alright with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute
And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do

All by myself alone at home a feeling blue
Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you
I wonder if you're dancing, with somebody new
I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder
No matter which side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on
My dreams of you continue through until the dawn
And after that I find the day dream crew comes on
I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder
You care for someone else, I see
Well, then it's quite alright with me
I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit
And find myself somebody who is twice as cute




And when you realize that you and I are through
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do

Overall Meaning

Nat King Cole's "One for the Wonder" is a song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has experienced heartbreak. The song is a reflection of the emotions that one goes through after a breakup. The lyrics describe the sense of loneliness and despair experienced by the singer. The opening lines, "All by myself alone at home a feeling blue, Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you" set the tone for the rest of the song.


The singer wonders if their former lover is dancing with somebody new. This demonstrates a sense of jealousy and loss. The repetition of the phrase "I wonder, I wonder" highlights the uncertainty and anxiety that come with a breakup. The lyrics take a more positive turn when the singer decides to move on. "I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit, And find myself somebody who is twice as cute." This shows that the singer is willing to move forward and find love again.


However, there is still a sense of loss in the final lines, "And when you realize that you and I are through, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do." This line shows that even though the singer is moving forward, they still have feelings for their former lover. The song concludes with the singer questioning what their former lover will do without them.
