          G         Em             Am7          D7
You're a lonely alcoholic, with a tendency to whine
            G             Em             Am7              D7
Well, you speak it and you drink it, and bore us all the time
          G                Em               Am7           D7
Say you drink out of your sorrow for you've got no one to love
      G                 Em             Am7        D7
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 dough
For the stressed out single mothers

I'm a mediocre writer
Who sings all of the time
Writing songs about misfortunes
And other peoples' 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

Ooh, 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

      G Em Am7     D7          G Em A D
Ooh, 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
Ooh baby don't leave me alone
