Ev'rybody falls in love with someone
Why won't someone fall in love with me
I'm tired of being lonely and walking by myself
Why won't someone come along and take me off the shelf
I envy all my friends and my relations
Who have two loving arms for company
Ev'rybody falls in love with someone
Why won't someone fall in love with me

Ev'rybody falls in love with someone
Why won't someone fall in love with me
I'm tired of being lonely and walking by myself
Why won't someone come along and take me off the shelf
I feel that I could cry like Palliachi
They say that he was as lonely as could be
Ev'rybody falls in love with someone
Why won't someone fall in love with me
