You're a lonely alcoholic 
with a tendency to wine 
well you speak it and you drink it 
and bore us all the time 

say you drink out of your sorrow 
for you've got no one to love 
but tell me who could cuddle up 
to a lonely alcoholic 

you're a stressed out single mother 
who has clearly been harassed 
well you can't predict the future 
for you can't erase the past 
cause your baby isn't going anywhere 
but up so join the line and get the dole 
for the stressed out single mother 

I'm a mediocre writer 
who sings all the time 
writing songs about 
misfortunes and other 
people's crimes 
well they say that I am 
doing my duty to the world 
Oh you could say that is onerous, 
I'm just craving to be heard 

ooooo don't leave me alone 

well who is there to listen to 
the problems of our lives 
you've got kids who just don't eat enough 
and men with many wives 
if we're altogether screaming 
why can't we make a sound 
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping 
is the one in which we will be found 

ooooo baby don't leave me alone 

well who is there to listen to 
the problems of our lives 
you've got kids who just don't eat enough 
and men with many wives 
if we're altogether screaming 
why can't we make a sound 
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping 
is the one in which we will be found 

ooooo baby don't leave me alone
