lyrics
If I were a famous lawyer, a banker or an engineer
You would treat me better, and I wouldn't l be in tears
But I'm just that lonesome and forgotten Mr. John Doe
A man without a home of his own to go to
Who fell in love with you
That's why I am so blue
If I had a private jet at the airport, two bodyguards and a limousine
You'd be intereseted in who I am, and in who I have been
but I'm just that lonesome and forgotten Mr. John Doe
A man without a home of his own to go to
A man with a lousy job and a cheap car too
A man without a suit or a pair of nice shoes
Who fell in love with you
That's why I am so blue
But I'm just that lonesome and forgotten Mr. John Doe
A man without a home of his own to go to
A man with a lousy job and a cheap car too
A man without a suit or a pair of nice shoes
Who doesn't live the kind of life he would choose
Who tries and tries but never has a damn clue
Who fell in love with you
That's why I am so blue
Sometimes it's hard to be that lonesome and forgotten Mr. John Doe
A man without a home of his own to go to
A man with a lousy job and a cheap car too
A man without a suit or a pair of nice shoes
Who doesn't live the kind of life he would choose
Who tries and tries but never has a damn clue
Whose life is held together with tape and cheap glue
Who doesn't have a single thing left to lose
What could I offer you
That's why I am so blue
