Lookin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
You`re gettin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
Ain`t in the right place, to try and change the tide 

You sit and read, but all you do is moan 
You sit and read, but all you do is moan 
Ain`t no wonder, you`re sittin` there on your own 

You`re readin` the cover of a pseudo paperback 
You`re readin` the cover of a pseudo paperback 
Displays about writers, Chaucer to Steinbeck 

You`re lookin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
You`re lookin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
It`s only yourself, you`re takin` for a ride 

You say you won`t change, but do you really care 
You say you won`t change, but do you really care 
You can`t do much just sittin` there in your chair 

I said, hey babe, hey where you been all night? 
I said, hey babe, hey where you been all night? 
Your clothes all tangled, sure ain`t talkin` right 

You`re lookin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
You`re lookin` tired babe, sittin` there on the side 
You ain`t in the right place, to try and change the tide
