Verse:

You were ev -'ry -bod -y's sweet -heart,

Not so long a -go,

And in our home town, each boy a -round,

Longed to be your beau.

But things are dif -f'rent to -day,

I'm might -y sor -ry to say:

 

Chorus:

You're No -bod -y's Sweet -heart now.

They don't bab -y you some -how,

Fan -cy hose, sil -ken gown

You'd be out of place in your own home town,

When you walk down the ave -e -nue,

I just can't be -lieve that it's you.

Paint -ed lips, Paint -ed eyes,

Wear -ing a Bird of Par -a -dise.

It all seems wrong some -how,

That you're No -bod -y's Sweet -heart now.
