When You're By Yourself
When you're by yourself in the kitchenWhat's the point of all that shopping and cooking?Sitting and eating and cleaningSo much to do just to eat by yourselfAnd when you're by yourself in a restaurantAnd you put down your backpack and your jacketYou put them on the seat next to youWhen you're by yourself, when you're by yourselfAnd when you have to go to the bathroomYou can't leave your stuff, you have to take itYou have to take your backpack and jacket with youIn the bathroom of a restaurant when you're by yourselfAnd the waitress sees you get upShe sees you take your backpack and jacketYou have to tell her you're just going to the bathroomYou're not dashing out, you're just by yourselfAnd she asks if you're finished with that plateAnd she says you can leave your stuff hereAnd you say, "it's okay because you've already got it"And you say, "leave that, I might eat a little more"And when you're by yourself walking afterAnd you could go home or you could keep walkingAnd there's no reason not to keep walkingThere's no reason when you're by yourself Aus Songtexte Mania
