One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do

No is the saddest experience

Alimee Mann "Par For The Course"

It's par for the course
You bet the wrong horse
You put down the phone and cried

You couldn't have

A plea

Now that

Sit here by the window
Stay here ...
And when we go, hold my hand, I'll take off
Tell me what I already know

That we can't talk about it
No we can't talk a

Alimee Mann "Put Me On Top"

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates

Another lonely exile when I see one
And you appear to be one
