“What Do I Do For The Moment?”

It’s another lonely day for me

Just another lonely day

Waiting for the phone to ring

Just to hear somebody say, "Hey!"

 

I don’t wanna spend the night alone

But I know that I’ll have to

Maybe when the new day dawns

I can find someone who will "love me do"

 

But what do I do for the moment?

When there is no one around

At midnight or two in the morning

Who can I call?  No one at all.

 

Weeks pass by without a word from friends

No word from my family

Wonder why no one comes by

Just to drop in and see me

 

Wonderin’ what it was that I did wrong

Why everybody stays away

I need help to make it right

But it’s just another lonely day

 

And what do I do for the moment?

When I am all by myself

On Friday night or Sunday morning

Who can I call?  No one at all.

What do I do for the moment?

When there is no one around

At midnight or two in the morning

Who can I call?  No one at all.

This accurately describes the mood I’m in right now.  I don’t like myself, and I don’t know what to do about it.  Everyone is asleep or unavailable, so what do I do for right now?
