i stopped at an all night diner
ooh it seemed like a romantic thing to do
yeah but i'm lonely it ain't like the movies
in the old days
i saw you sittin' in the corner counting change
like you were counting your daydreams
then youe eyes they suddenly hit me like a railroad train

oh sometimes i think i might be immune to a guy like you
but i can't walk away no i can't walk away
oh tonight i see you're at the end of the line well me too
but we all gotta pay

i know you'd be good to me
i know you'd try to be good to me
but in the end baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down i have found
you better be good to yourself good to yourself

i guess i've known you before maybe in high school
or maybe you're just one more guy i went looking for
the boy next door
or maybe i'm the girl with the see through eyes
but i watch too many movies
i get tangled in the story of someone else's life
baby who am i and who are you

oh sometimes i go to bed at night
and i think that i'm with you
then i say a little prayer cuz i threw it all away
the other day you called up to see if i miss you
and all i could say was

i know you'd be good to me
i know you'd try to be good to me
but in the end baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down i have found
you better be good to yourself good to yourself

night has a clever desguise
she makes me believe that i'm lonely
i should know by now if i can make it to tomorrow
i can work it out

cuz in the end baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down i have found
you better be good to yourself good to yourself
