WHY SHOULD WE BOTH BE LONELY?
John Jacob Loeb / Carmen Lombardo

as rec by Doris Day  1947


Why should we both be lonely?
Why should we be apart?
Let's both forget our pride and say we're sorry,
And give an old romance a brand new start.

I know I'm just pretending
When I'm with someone new,
And you've been seen with other people,
You know you're just pretending too!
Why should we both be lonely
When we love each other like we do?

Why should we both be lonely?
Why should we be apart?
Let's both forget our pride and say we're sorry,
And give an old romance a brand new start.

I know I'm just pretending
When I'm with someone new, (with someone new)
And you've been seen with other people,
You know you're just pretending too!
Why should we both be lonely?
We can make all our dreams come true
When we love each other like we do!
