Lyrics:
These days every fellow has a sweetheart,
Seems that ev'ry girlie has a beau,
Gee, I'd be glad if I only had
Someone to tell me “I love you so.”
I'd like to do some kissin' and some huggin'
Some croonin' and some spoonin; too I guess,
But no matter how I strive
Folks don't know that I'm alive,
And I fear I'm goin' to die of lonsomeness.
chorus:
Gee, I wish that I had a girl
Like the other fellows had,
Someone to make a fuss over me,
To cheer me up when I feel sad,
On Wednesday night I'm all alone
When I ought to be up
At some sweetheart's home,
And I'm lonesome, awful lonesome,
Gee, I wish I had a girl.
There are times when I get fairly started
With some girlie who looks good to me,
But I can't win 'cause someone butts in,
And then it looks like they meant twenty three.
It seems that I just can't get up a system,
My sighin' and my tryin's all in vain,
Cruel fate spoils ev'ry plan,
'Cause I'm not a ladies man,
And a lonely creature I'll always remain.
