LONELY LIPS
(Freddie James / Louise Shelly / Sol Winkler)

The Chordettes - 1955


I've got lonely lips
On account of a broken heart
On account of a dream that fell apart
On account of I tried to play it smart

I've got lonely lips
On account of my flirty eye
On account of I told my heart a lie
On account of I loved that other guy

If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long

I've got lonely lips
On account of I'm sad and blue
On account of you've found somebody new
On account of I lost the love of you

(Whistling)

If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long

(Whistling)

I've got lonely lips
On account of a broken heart
On account of a dream that fell apart
On account of I tried to play it smart

I've got lonely lips
On account of my flirty eye
On account of I told my heart a lie
On account of I loved that other guy

If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long

I've got lonely lips
On account of I'm sad and blue
On account of you've found somebody new
On account of I lost the love of you
