1. Crowds all around me, still I'm alone
No one to say "hello"
Can't even place, one single face
Anywhere I may go
No one to understand
I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land

Chorus:
Gee! but I hate to go home alone
For when I climb up the stair
There's just a bed and a chair, to greet me
Nobody waiting there with a smile
That's why I'm lonesome, Oh! so lonesome
Home Sweet Home to most folks
Is the place for which they long
Home Sweet Home don't mean a thing
To me, it's just a song
Don't even know any one to phone, dog gone it
Gee! but I hate to go home alone

2. Everyone's happy, smile on each face
Laughing as they pass by
I feel so blue, honest and true
Almost wish I could die
Just like a rolling stone
I'm just rolling nowhere all alone
