So we're alone again tonight, I read a book, you watch the fight A stifled yawn, a can of beer, what an enthralling atmosphere And yet the sight of us this way, helps me to say what I must say It helps me to think a thought or two, to pass it right along to you And just for starters you should know I think You've let yourself go
