Every night I sit home alone

Sittin' by my radio

I'm just hopin' that something good will come on

But it never does

Hours away back in the street

Sally's out with some man she's met

She is just hopin' that somethin' good will come along

But it never does.

I'm still hopin'

That someone could tell me

I sit here prayin' that somebody knows

I keep on wishin' that some could tell me

Exactly what I'm gonna do.

So late at night

I make up games

I try to make the silence play

What harm could it do

Sometimes I try and call you

I seen 'em come I seen 'em go

Some are faster now some not so

You know sally she ain't a bit of fun anymore.

I'm still hopin'

Hopin' someone could tell me

I sit here prayin' that somebody knows

I keep on wishin' that someone could tell me

Exactly what I'm going though.

So every night I'm home alone

Just sittin' by my radio

Just hopin' that somethin' good will come along

But it never does.

I'm still hopin' that someone could tell me

I sit here prayin' that somebody knows

I keep on wishin' that someone could tell me

Exactly what I'm doin' here.
