| Jerry, he’s a workaholic
|
| Never made time for the family
|
| He’s dedicated to his gin and tonics
|
| But they don’t give him what he needs
|
| And Joey, he pays alimony
|
| To two wives in different towns
|
| And tries to act like he ain’t lonely
|
| But the single life will wears you down
|
| And as for me
|
| I’m no different from the rest
|
| And I’ve been coming here
|
| Ever since that woman left
|
| And now it’s every man for himself tonight
|
| Yeah, we’re looking out for number one
|
| And trying to get on with our lives
|
| And it’s heartbreaking and it’s soul aching
|
| When you’ve got nobody else
|
| So friends, it’s good to have you here tonight
|
| But it’s everyman for himself
|
| In walks that long haired beauty
|
| We’re all prayin' she’s unattached
|
| I felt a chill go straight through me
|
| I’ve never seen a smile like that
|
| And I ain’t worried about Bill or Darryl
|
| They’re both wearing their wedding bands
|
| The rest of us are fish in a barrel
|
| She could have her pick but understand
|
| And she can’t save us all
|
| From the lonely lives we lead
|
| So bartender, would you send her a drink
|
| And tell her it’s from me
|
| 'Cause it’s every man for himself tonight
|
| Yeah, we’re looking out for number one
|
| And trying to get on with our lives
|
| And it’s heartbreaking and it’s soul aching
|
| When you’ve got nobody else
|
| So friends, it’s good to have you here tonight
|
| But it’s everyman for himself
|
| And I’ll be your shoulder, friends
|
| When you feel like giving up
|
| But if it ever comes down to finding love
|
| Well, then it’s every man for himself tonight
|
| Yeah, we’re looking out for number one
|
| And trying to get on with our lives
|
| And it’s heartbreaking and it’s soul aching
|
| When you’ve got nobody else
|
| So friends, it’s good to have you here tonight
|
| But it’s everyman for him self |
