I Hate to Eat Alone

[Verse 1]

I picked myself up in a downtown bar

You know the feelin' was lousy

But as I'd come this far

Well it's too easy to drink

When nobody's home

But I hate to eat alone

[Verse 2]

'N' frozen dinners don't do much for me

When you've got TV on the table

'N' TV on TV

All you do is chew your fingers

Down to the bone

I hate to eat alone

[Bridge]

Like the actor who's forgotten his words

You stumble through the story line

Another place another time

When you were with me

[Verse 3]

They say the city's rotten to the core

There's no communication

With each other anymore

But we stopped talkin' to each other

A long time before

And I hate to eat alone

[Interlude]

Hear it in my words

See it in my eyes

Since you went away

I wear a cheap disguise

Waitin' for the mornin'

Waitin' on the light

Hopin' for the sunshine

Before the night

[Verse 4]

I didn't tell you that I had to change

So you just took it for granted

That we'd remain the same

I know that nobody's guilty

No one's to blame

So I end up on my own

God I hate to eat alone

I hate to eat alone

I hate to eat alone

I hate to eat alone
