 CWhen you're by yourself in the Fkitchen
 CWhat's the point of all that shopping and cFooking
 CSitting and eating and cleFaning
 So much to Ddo, just to eat by yourGself.
 CAnd when you're by yourself in a restFaurant
 CAnd you put down your backpack and your Fjacket
 CYou put them on the seat nexFt to you
 When you're by youDrself, when you're by youGrself
 CAnd when you have to go to the bathFroom
 CYou can't leave your stuff, you have to Ftake it
 CYou have to take your backpack and jacket Fwith you
 In the bathDroom of the restaurant when you're by yourGself.
 And the Cwaitress sees you geFt up
 CShe sees you take your backpack and Fjacket
 CYou have to tell her you're just going Fto the bathroom
 You're not dashing Dout, it's just that you're by yourGself.
 CAnd she asks if you're finished wiFth that plate
 CAnd she says 'you can leave youFr stuff here'
 CAnd you say it's ok cause youF've already got it
 And you say 'Dleave that, I might still eat a litGtle more'.
 CAnd when you're by yourself walking Fafter
 CAnd you could go home or you could keep Fwalking
 CAnd there's no reason not to Fkeep walking
 There's no Dreason when you're by yourGself.
