A Thousand Girls
(Christine Kane/Lee Baby Sims Music/ASCAP/1997)

Late nights in strange rooms
Cheap wine and cartoons
And city lights below me
I got all this time
I got you on the line
But somehow I'm still lonely

Well, I made my mess
Lost my courage, my kindness
'Cause everything just ended
And I pray to God
'Cause I'm wiped out and I'm tired
And I'm old enough to be mended
And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime
And even though I try, I'm on the wrong side tonight
All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me

When it's half-past midnight
Strangers in streetlights
Will put you off with their glances
And it's smart to ask
Just when we get too cool to laugh
And when we start building fences

And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime
And even though I love, I'm on the wrong side of the light
All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me

Well, I'm allright I guess
I could use a little rest
And a gentle voice to console me
Someone might want to be my friend tonight
And then again, someone else might want to just hold me
