Everybody's goin' out and havin' fun.

I'm just a fool for staying home and 
Eb
havin' none.

I can't get over how she set me free.

round.

I know that I should have some fun and 
Eb
paint the town.

I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and 

fancy free..flirting with the boys with all 
    Bb
her charms.
Bb                           F
But I still love her so, and brother don't 

you know..I'd welcome her right back here 
      Bb
in my arms.

Well, there must be some way I can lose these 
Bb
lonesome blues.

Forget about the past and find somebody new.
Eb                                   Ab
I've thought of everything from A to Z.
