D-DU-UDU
 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)
 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
