I picked myself up in a downtown bar
You know the feelin was lousy
But as Id come this far
Well its too easy to drink
When nobodys home
But I hate to eat alone
`n frozen dinners dont do much for me
When youve got t.v. on the table
`n t.v. on t.v.
All you do is chew your fingers
Down to the bone
I hate to eat alone
Like the actor whos forgotten his words
You stumble through the story line
Another place another time
When you were with me
They say the citys rotten to the core
Theres no communication with each other anymore
But we stopped talkin to each other a long time before
And I hate to eat alone
Hear it in my words
See it in my eyes
Since you went away
I wear a cheap disguise
Waitin for the mornin
Waitin on the light
Hopin for the sunshine
Before the night
I didnt tell you that I had to change
So you just took it for granted
That wed remain the same
I know that nobodys guilty
No ones to blame so I end up on my own
God I hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone
