What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome?

What Do You Do When You're Lonesome? - Wanda Jackson

Now what do you do when you're lonesome

Where do you go when you're blue

And how do you deal with such emotion

When you're just an ordinary fool

And do you hang your head then walk the streets

Hoping no one sees your face

Wishing you were someone else

Some place far away

Do you stay out late nights drinking

Trying to smile through

A pain that everybody knows

Is tearing you in two

So what do you do when you're lonesome

Where do you go when you're blue

And how do you deal with such emotion

When you're just an ordinary fool

Now some have tried changes

Of geography and such

Others have locked their hearts away

For fear they'll fall in love

But still there's some far too dumb

To know there's something wrong

And they waste their lives wondering why

And waking up alone

So what do you do when you're lonesome

Where do you go when you're blue

And how do you deal with such emotion

When you're just an ordinary fool

Now what do you do when you're lonesome

Where do you go when you're blue

And how do you deal with such emotion

When you're just an ordinary fool

When you're just an ordinary fool
