I've been out all night drinking
Turning the long day loose
I've seen a lot of beautiful women
But it always comes back to you
I don't know why everybody
Ends up here just the same
I only know I ain't got nobody
And nobody but myself to blame

I've been out all night smoking
Behind a cloud down at the bar
Fading away someplace
Where you won't find me anymore
I don't remember what I wanted
From all of this pain
I only know I ain't got nobody
And nobody but myself to blame

I've been out all night fighting
Talking loud and acting rough
I went 3 rounds with some Staten Island woman
Before I couldn't get back up
I don't know why I kept thinking
As I kissed her without asking her name
I only thought I ain't got nobody
And nobody but myself to blame

I've been holding out for something
Something that I just can't face
Now that you're gone, I ain't got noone
But myself

I've been hiding out all morning
Baby, you've been on my mind
The one thing I've been avoiding
Has been waiting it's turn in line
I couldn't say that I blame you
If you don't want me back again
Because if I ain't got nobody
I've got nobody but myself to blame
Yeah, if I ain't got nobody
I've got nobody but myself to blame
