i woke up early on a friday night 

my head was spinning from the neon lights 

took pills and whiskey just to ease my pain 

my tears were falling down like acid raindrops 

ain't got no one that i can call my own 

i do my talking on the telephone 

i get my comfort any way i can 

don't get no love from any girl or man 



ain't got no one that i can call my own 

i do my talking on the telephone 

truly comfortable, truly comfortable 

i've never been so, i've never been so 

i've never been so, i've never been so 



i hear the music on the radio 

i watch the people as they come and go 

another day goes by i stay at home 

i've got your picture but i'm all alone 

look in the mirror and i see myself 

the perfect picture of my fading health 

no one there who wants to look me up 

go to the kitchen and i drink a cup 



ain't got no one that i can call my own 

i do my talking on the telephone 

truly comfortable, truly comfortable 

i've never been so, i've never been so 

i've never been so, i've never been so..... 



go to the window on a friday night 

this time around i'll take a different flight 

i took my chances any way i could 

i've tried my hardest but it's just no good 

look at the pictures thrown accross the floor 

i don't believe that i can take much more 

i pull the covers way above my head 

the ceiling crumbles all around my bed 



ain't got no one that i can call my own 

i do my talking on the telephone 

truly comfortable, truly comfortable 

i've never been so, i've never been so 

i've never been so, i've never been so 



i've never been so, i've never been so 

i've never been so, i've never been so...
