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

Well, 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 'til 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 it damn sure ain't lookin' for me

I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone

To break my heart tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



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 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...
