If I'm Gonna Be Alone, (I Can Do It by Myself)
Ed Bentley - Writer edbentley@mail.com
Verse 1
Been talkin' to the wall, wall ain't said a word
You been gone for days, more then I deserve
Been walking on my heart, buddy that's a fact
I'm heading out the door, and I ain't comin' back
Pre-Chorus
I'm takin' back my Friday's, Sunday afternoons
No more waitin' for a maybe -- got better things to do
( Chorus )
If I'm gonna be alone, don't need nobody else
I'll pour me a shot, make a toast to myself
No more playing games, be a notch on your belt
Yeah, if I'm gonna be alone... I can do it by myself
( Verse 2 )
Pulled into the diner, neon burnin' bright
Music pounding loud, another Friday night
Smilin' at my freedom, leavin' you behind
And when the night is over, best company is mine
Pre-Chorus
I'm takin' back my Friday's, Sunday afternoons
No more waitin' for a maybe -- got better things to do
( Chorus )
If I'm gonna be alone, don't need nobody else
I'll pour me a shot, make a toast to myself
No more playing games, be a notch on your belt
Yeah, if I'm gonna be alone... I can do it by myself
( Bridge )
Yeah I'm gonna miss you, that smile and that charm
But I can't wait to find somebody, get your tattoo off my arm
( Final Chorus )
If I'm gonna be alone, don't need nobody else
I'll pour me a shot, make a toast to myself
No more playing games, be a notch on your belt
Yeah, if I'm gonna be alone... I can do it by myself
{ tag/outro } If I'm gonna be alone... I'll do it by myself
