Another early motel morning Bourbon sits thick on her tongue Neon flashes on a plastic tray What about me? Doris reaches for a smoke Dented pillow, goodbye note She's ready for another lonely day What about me? She's lost hope in tomorrow for today "What about me?" Back into the cocktail dress Peroxide hair, God, such a mess Fix lunch for the boy without a dad What about me? Hustle tips until 2 A.M. Find another man again Until dawn forget what makes her feel so sad What about me? She's lost hope in tomorrow for today "What about me?" Just another lonely person in this cold dark world Stopped looking for emotional messiahs long ago Just another lonely person in this cold dark world Look the other way now! Only sees what she believes No more love, no more dreams They're shattered like the chipped nails on her hand What about me? Been so long there's no more tears Desperate cries that no one hears Can't you see her, don't you understand? What about me? She's lost hope in tomorrow for today "What about me?"
