Intro

 You're a lonely alcoholic, with a tendency to w(h)ine

 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

 But your baby isn't going anywhere but up

 So join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers

 I'm a mediocre writer, who sings all of 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 that is honerous, I'm just craving to be heard

(oooh... don't leave me alone)

 Well, who is there to listen to the problems of our lives?

 We've got kids who just don't eat enough and men with many wives

 If we're all together screaming, why can't we make a sound?

 Oh, cuz the dirt on which we're stepping

 Is the one in which we wil be found

 Ooh, baby, don't leave me alone

(modulate)
