Alone lyrics
Alone
FEMALE
Remember that night when I met you
When you both hung out here in the bar
I said to my friend there `I bet you,
Those two, they won`t make it too far.`
He could have discussed any topic
He could have chosen baseball, football, croquet
So why`d he have to choose her`
What a lame, pathetic loser
You don`t need him anyway
Alone
You are better off
Trust me, it`s true
You don`t need him there
To always care
About every little thing that you do
Alone
Means that your life plans
Aren`t always set in stone
Trust me
You`re better off alone
Right`
MARCIE
Yeah` Sure`
MALE
Hey-ey! You ready to go`
FEMALE
Oh! This is my friend, uh`
MARCIE
Marcie.
FEMALE
Marcie. She`s re-discovering single-hood.
MALE
Welcome back.
(laughs)
Maybe one night you were thinking
I`ll stay-in and give Nietzsche a stab
Then again I could just go out drinking
`Til I puke in the back of a cab
MARCIE
He would say, `Marcie that`s stupid,
You are better than that``
MALE
But, hey
Now his opinion doesn`t matter
Go ahead and do the ladder
You don`t need him anyway
FEMALE AND MALE
Alone
You do what you want
Never what he wants instead
MARCIE
Not up each night
In a stupid fight
When the two of us should both be in bed
FEMALE AND MALE
Alone
Means you never swoon
At the smell of his cologne
MARCIE
`Cause that`s just stupid
FEMALE AND MALE
You`re better off alone
FEMALE
Right`
MARCIE
Yeah, stupid Old Spice!
FEMALE
All right. We`re gonna get going, good luck.
MARCIE
Oh` thanks for the advice!
FEMALE
Yeah.
MALE
Hey, what` We work in a bar.
We`re basically therapists who encourage you to drink. Good night!
MARCIE
One day I might land a meeting
With a man who takes photos in France
I don`t need someone begging and pleading
`Honey stay and give our love a chance.`
I`ll go wherever I want to
I won`t stay where I don`t wanna stay
I`ll leave tomorrow or whenever
And I might just stay forever
I don`t need him anyway
Alone
Means I`ll never be
So I can find romance
I can act on a whim
Not have check with him
Like six or seven months in advance
Alone
Means you`re never hurt
That is what this night has shone
I think it`s clear to see
I`m better off alone
I need him anyway
More than any man I`ve ever known
Feeling hurt with him is better
Than feeling free alone
