I was going to say, "traditional jazz" and leave it at that. Then I decided that that was a cop-out, so I tried to Google it. And found that I literally can't find reference to the version that I knew from jazz choir back when I was in highschool.
The lyrics that I know start like this:
Bluer than blue
I'm all alone and need somebody that's true
I'm hoping that you'll come, back to me
I need somebody who cares
(This is not the Michael Johnson song with the same name. Based on other songs I learned from the same source I'd guess that this song was probably released in the 30s or 40s.)
Cheers,
Ben
