Big Bad World One

Lyrics

All alone by the table of food in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie
 Only thinking of something to say in the moment after the girl goes by
 Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to
 I eat another crudite
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out okay
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero, big bad world one
 ♪
 At the office, we're all having cake
 'Cause it's someone's birthday, I don't know who
 Get my plate and I'm scanning the room
 And the only seat is right next to you
 I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth
 Maybe you don't know who I am
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out okay
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero, big bad world one
 Staying in side, lying in bed
 Noticing something that's not there
 Follow my heart, follow my head
 I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere
 Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee
 And search my head for an opening line
 But I see by the look on her face
 If I keep my mouth shut, I'll save some time
 What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?
 Isn't it better not to know?
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out okay
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero, big bad world one
