Lyrics

I heard you cry it loud
All the way across town
You've been searchin
For that someone
And it's me out of the crowd
As you sit around
Feeling sorry for yourself
					(Verse 1)
So don't get lonely now
And dry your whinin eyes
I'm just roamin for the moment
Sleazin my backyard so don't get
So uptight you've been thinkin
About ditchin me

No time to search the world around
Cuz you know where I'll be found        (Chorus)
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser, and a user
So I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down
Because I know you're right
					(Verse 2)
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something
If it's just not right

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
