What About Me Lyrics

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?”
