I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
Knew it was time to put this suit away
When I ripped the knees open eating the pavement
Doris loved her American cars
This one’s seen just about every state
When it came time to take the keys away
She said “hey”
Hey hey hey
“Why’d you have to go
and do me like that?
Don’t you know?
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore.”
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
No one’s home at the hotel bar
I’ve been out looking for a silver lining
Just found a stray hair in the bedding
Maybe I’ll drive out to the ocean
I heard someone order the Clams Casino
I said, “hey what’s that?” they said, “I dunno”
Her voice echoes in my head–
“Why’d you have to go
and do me like that?
Don’t you know?
I’m looking at my last chance.”
Hey, I might never land on solid ground
Part of me will always be in the clouds
in my old suit, in a hotel room
But I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
