I've just seen another sunset on my own. All day long I've been alone, and I must do something about it, yes I must do something about it. Played another losing cardgame with myself. Lonely joker on ashalf, and I must do something about it, yes I must do something about it. No one on the party line, No one seems to need a dime, No one even knows that I'm feeling this way. I've just seen another suset on my own. All day long I've been alone, and I must do something about it, yes I must do something about it. No one seems to need my vote, No one has to change a note, No one here to hold my coat, Oh, what a day. I've just watched another movie on T.V. No one's in the house but me, and I must do something about it, yes I must do something about it. Oh, oh, something about it. I've just dialed another number on my phone. All day long I've been alone, and I must do something about it...
