If you read in the paper, some day That some poor girl has passed away Don't shed a tear, if you should hear, that gal was me And if you see my picture in the papers with a smile on my face I was brokenhearted and that smile was out of place So if you'd like to save a poor girl from a grave Just find me a man if you can I'm the lonesomest girl in town Everybody has thrown me down I ain't got no angel child to call me dear Got no honey man for me to cuddle near But I'm learning to roll my eyes And some day you may be surprised When I steal somebody's lovin' man and kiss him with a smack I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him but I'll never give him back 'Cause I'm lonesome So very lonesome Yes I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town ♪ I've tried hard to think of a plan To get myself some lovin' man You will agree, it's tough on me With love to spare, but none to share A doctor has no patience with a woman like me A lawyer will not have me, I can talk much more than he If I knew just what to do, I wouldn't tell my troubles to you I'm the lonesomest girl in town Everybody seems to tear me down Even during leap-year I don't stand a chance I've practically got to slug a guy to get a dance But I'm learning to roll my eyes And some day you may be surprised When someone calls to make a date The whole darn family's gonna celebrate Oh, me Oh, my Yes I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
