Jerry, he's a workaholic
|
Never made time for the family
|
He's dedicated to his gin and tonics
|
But they don't give him what he needs
|
|
And Joey, he pays alimony
|
To two wives in different towns
|
And tries to act like he ain't lonely
|
But the single life will wears you down
|
|
And as for me
|
I'm no different from the rest
|
And I've been coming here
|
Ever since that woman left
|
|
And now it's every man for himself tonight
|
Yeah, we're looking out for number one
|
And trying to get on with our lives
|
|
And it's heartbreaking and it's soul aching
|
When you've got nobody else
|
So friends, it's good to have you here tonight
|
But it's everyman for himself
|
|
In walks that long haired beauty
|
We're all prayin' she's unattached
|
I felt a chill go straight through me
|
I've never seen a smile like that
|
|
And I ain't worried about Bill or Darryl
|
They're both wearing their wedding bands
|
The rest of us are fish in a barrel
|
She could have her pick but understand
|
|
And she can't save us all
|
From the lonely lives we lead
|
So bartender, would you send her a drink
|
And tell her it's from me
|
|
'Cause it's every man for himself tonight
|
Yeah, we're looking out for number one
|
And trying to get on with our lives
|
|
And it's heartbreaking and it's soul aching
|
When you've got nobody else
|
So friends, it's good to have you here tonight
|
But it's everyman for himself
|
|
And I'll be your shoulder, friends
|
When you feel like giving up
|
But if it ever comes down to finding love
|
|
Well, then it's every man for himself tonight
|
Yeah, we're looking out for number one
|
And trying to get on with our lives
|
|
And it's heartbreaking and it's soul aching
|
When you've got nobody else
|
So friends, it's good to have you here tonight
|
But it's everyman for him self
|
