I stopped at an all night diner
ooh, it seemed like a romantic thing to do
yeah, but i'm lonely, it ain't like the movies
in the old days
i saw you sittin' in the corner counting change,
like you were counting your daydreams
then youe eyes, they suddenly hit me like a railroad train
Oh, sometimes i think i might be immune to a guy like you
but i can't walk away, no i can't walk away
oh, tonight i see you're at the end of the line, well, me too
but we all gotta pay
I know you'd be good to me
i know you'd try to be good to me
but in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down, i have found
you better be good to yourself...good to yourself
I guess i've known you before, maybe in high school
or maybe you're just one more guy i went looking for
the boy next door
or maybe i'm the girl with the see-through eyes
but i watch too many movies,
i get tangled in the story of someone else's life
baby, who am i...and who are you?
Oh, sometimes i go to bed at night
and i think that i'm with you
then i say a little prayer, cuz i threw it all away
the other day you called up to see if i miss you
and all i could say was
I know you'd be good to me
i know you'd try to be good to me
but in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down, i have found
you better be good to yourself...good to yourself
Night has a clever desguise
she makes me believe that i'm lonely
i should know by now if i can make it to tomorrow
i can work it out
Cuz in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
when the chips are down, i have found
you better be good to yourself...good to yourself
