lyrics

I Usually Eat Alone

You need something to eat
So let me buy it for you
We can go down the street
I'll break my diet for you

Let's try another place
This one's looking way too empty
It's too dark to see your face
So that I can let it tempt me

Don't like the looks of that joint
So let's just keep on driving
I hope we get to the point
When we say we're arriving

I don't think I'm a funny guy
So maybe that is why I'm funny
So people really try
And that just makes them tragic honey

I'm saying things that really should stay unknown
Forgive me please, I usually eat alone
I usually eat alone

If the truth should be told
I'm not a person who courts
If I could be so bold
I mostly eat in my shorts

Before you came around
I thought I was the one in trouble
But now it seems I found
Someone who can make it double

If the check's too high, I might ask you for a loan
Forgive me please, I usually eat alone
I usually eat alone

I talk about everything except what I want to talk about
Like when I first looked at you I knew there was not an ounce of doubt
I told myself, "There she is. That's the girl I'm in love with.
She is the only one I can be hand in glove with"

I should hold back, but now all my cards are shown
Forgive me please, I usually eat alone
I usually eat alone

The John Sally Ride New York, New York

Each time John Dunbar put out a new solo album he first played it for his close friend, and fave drummer, Sal Nunziato, He always hoped Sal would ask to play on the next record. Each time Sal heard a new Dunbar record, he wondered why he was never asked to play on it. They both always dreamed of playing with mutual friend, Sal Maida. After the unspoken was spoken, The John Sally Ride was formed. ... more
