As recorded by AILEEN STANLEY:

People think I was born
With a silver spoon in my mouth
People who say that's true
Don't know what they're talking about
I'll admit I've had most ev'rything
Any living soul could boast
But the only thing I've never had
Was what I wanted the most

I've got a dog and a cat
And not only that, a nice cosy flat
But I ain't got nobody to love

I've got a nice comfy Morris chair too
I bought it brand new, but what can I do
When I ain't got nobody to love

I seem to see my senses slippin' away
Believe me, I keep growing older each day
Hear what I say

I've lots of kisses to taste
But now I'm afraid they're going to waste
'Cause I ain't got nobody to love

(Orchestral Interlude)

Believe me, those who know will tell you I'm nice
No foolin', I'm no bargain, but I'm worth the price
Take my advice

Each night I burn incense at home
But incense is nonsense when you're alone
Gee, I ain't got nobody to love
