HAPPY YOU, LONELY ME
(Melba Montgomery)


Melba Montgomery - 1962
Norma Jean - 1965



When I'm with friends they just don't know the way I feel
If they could see inside my heart, they'd know the smile's not real
At parties I tell jokes and laugh to liven up the crowd
But in my room alone I cry and call your name out loud

Happy you, sad and lonely me
You've got her love and I've got only misery
Goodbye love, hello Mister Blues
Since he walked out I've been expecting you

(Instrumental Break)

I tried concealing all the pain I felt inside
And, darling, I was doing fine till you walked by
Seeing you with her was just too much for me
I let the tears roll down my cheek for all the world to see

Happy you, sad and lonely me
You've got her love and I've got only misery
Goodbye love, hello Mister Blues
Since he walked out I've been expecting you
