Why Can't I?

Feeling the way I do
I'd like to say I do
Heaving a heavenly sigh
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
Creeping to bed alone
Resting my head alone
Only my pillow nearby
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
I feel forsaken
On nights like this
Can't I awaken
To someone's kiss?
Only my book in bed
Knows how I look in bed
Nobody hears when I cry
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
If love brings merriment
I must experiment
Only my book in bed
Knows how I look in bed
Nobody hears when I cry
Everybody has someone
Why can't I?
