Well, I got empty bottles and legal papers
Wrinkled up all over the floor
My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't
Have a song in it anymore
I can write another love song
Yeah, but first you got to find someone to love
I could write another fight song
Yeah, but there's got to be something to be proud of
And they say misery love's company
But it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight
Going out, walkin' on Avenue B
And I ain't comin' back until dawn
And find some stranger in a Greenich bar
To shower my affection upon
Well, maybe she'll stay till one fateful day
When we realize we've got nothin' left
And maybe I'll find she's messed up my mind
And I can get back to doing what I do best
And they say misery love's company
But lately it ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight
Well, all these A&R guys keep knockin' on my door
I guess the last batch wasn't good enough
'Cause they keep on wanting more and more and they say
Write what you know and it just goes to show
You gotta write your own destiny
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight
And they say misery love's company
But it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight
