A Lonely Co-Ed Lyrics by Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington Presents Ivie Anderson

0

[Verse 1]
I just can't seem to get that campus bloom
When I come in, the boys all leave the room
I just don't seem to attract
I'm just a lonely co-ed
I wear my clothes like all the other girls
I wear my hair with all the latest curls
They just don't seem to react
I'm just a lonely co-ed
[Bridge]
Maybe I don't know enough of the tricks
Maybe I lack technique
Maybe there's something that I could fix
Maybe my line is weak
[Verse 2]
While everybody else is making love
I sit with folded hands, the picture of
A total failure, a flop
I'm just a lonely co-ed
[Instrumental]
