Sitting in my lonely room every day
all my friends have gone away
I tried and tried and tried
to keep my baby satisfied
but she left me anyway
I was walking down the streets at night
killing time killing time
I've been trying every telephone in sight
but there's always trouble on the line
I don't wanna be the lonely boy tonight
I don't wanna be the lonely boy tonight
I don't wanna be lonely boy
I don't wanna be lonely boy
tonight tonight tonight
Saturated by the media biz
my mind is ticking away
to do a string of anonymous hits
and the jingles of the day
Just the patterns on my television set
a-all night long without you
I thought myself asleep in all day long
There's really nothing else to do
Caffeine aided by a coffeemachine
a short and restless dream
separated from the rest of the world
no one can hear you scream
I don't wanna be .....
Saturated by the media biz
my mind is ticking away
to do a string of anonymous hits
and the jingles of the day
I don't wanna be .....
