Table For One

by Bob Malone   I’m sitting in this restaurant, and I’m sitting aloneYou know I can hardly stand itCigarette-wielding couplesBlowing smoke in each other’s facesHow romanticAnd every place I go just reminds me of youYou know there just ain’t no escape, no escapeI wonder what you’d say and I wonder what you’d doIf you could see me in this pathetic state CHORUSAnd too much time aloneMakes you crazy til it makes you numbI’ll have a table for one. And you still pull my stringEven though you’re on your ownYou’re like a yo-yo that don’t come back, don’t come backAnd the only thing I’ve learned from thisIs how to drink aloneTil the memories fade to black, fade to black CHORUS And it seems like everybody’s talking too loudWithout you between me and this crowdAnd I keep hoping a friend will come walking through that doorMmm, but there’s no one there, just strangers everywhere.
