“Lonesome Tonight”

I prepare to go to a dance held at the school.
I hope that someone dances with me at the school.

I get my money and I am ready to go.
I hope nobody cares that I’m going to show.

Here I am at the dance.  My friends invite me in.
There was alot of people that came walking in.

My friends try to find a girl that would dance with me.
But they find themselves someone and they forgot me.

I go around and ask females. All of them said no.
I asked every girl there, but they all said no.

The dance started.  I had to sit at the table.
I had to find a date, but I wasn’t able.

The next dance came.  I still couldn’t find a partner.
I sat and watched that dance. I’m getting lonlier.

I’m so lonesome tonight.  No one will dance with me.
Every female said no, and no girl has asked me.

The third dance; I had my friends get me a female.
They tried hard, but they couldn’t get me a female.

I feel like I’m going to cry.  I’m so depressed.
Nobody that I have asked to dance with said yes.

Three more dances passed that night that I had to sit.
I’m lonesome.  No one asked or talked to me a bit.

I know that nobody wants to go out with me.
Worse than that, nobody will even dance with me.

That is why I haven’t gone to another dance.
Because I know that I would never have a chance.
