all alone, drunk again,
at some barroom's bitter end
staring at what's left in the glass
watching winks, flying sparks,
lonely arrows strike their mark
and the handsome heroes leave with their catch

barmaids and their boyfriends by the jukebox dancing slow
easing over toward a corner booth
you just sit all alone, watchin all the girls go home
I guess at least you're nobody's fool

all night long you stuck around
in your little paper crown
for some angel to float down from the sky
while you kissed your cigarettes
punched your lonelyhearts requests
now your quarters and regrets are out of time

no use crying now about some chance that never came
and the moves you didn't make are overdue
you just sit all alone, watching all the girls go home
I guess at least you're nobody's fool

yeah, all the girls are leaving now
and you glare at them through blurry eyes
like they're the ones who let you down
well, go on thinking what you like

you're just one more lost cause
at a table by the wall
as the lights start coming on one by one
swallowing your last ounce
of pride and whiskey watered down
hey, it's a little harder now standing up

far enough away now to believe you never cared
about whatever you had dared yourself to do
you just sit all alone, watching all the girls go home
well I guess at least you're nobody's fool
