A Thousand Girls

Late nights in strange rooms
 Cheap wine and cartoons
 And city lights below me
 I got all this time
 I got you on the line
 But somehow I'm still lonely
 Well, I made my mess
 Lost my courage, my kindness
 'Cause everything just ended
 And I pray to God
 'Cause I'm wiped out and I'm tired
 And I'm old enough to be mended
 And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime
 And even though I try, I'm on the wrong side tonight
 All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me
 When it's half-past midnight
 Strangers in streetlights
 Will put you off with their glances
 And it's smart to ask
 Just when we get too cool to laugh
 And when we start building fences
 And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime
 And even though I love, I'm on the wrong side of the light
 All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me
 Well, I'm all right I guess
 I could use a little rest
 And a gentle voice to console me
 Someone might want to be my friend tonight
 And then again, someone else might want to just hold me
 And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime
 And even though I try, I'm on the wrong side tonight
 All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me
