I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 00:18

I knew it was time to put this suit away 00:21

When I ripped the knees open eating the pavement 00:25

Doris loved her American cars 00:34

This one's seen just about every state 00:39

When it came time to take the keys away 00:43

She said, "Hey, hey-hey-hey" 00:46

Why'd you have to go and do me like that? 00:54

Don't you know I don't wanna laugh alone anymore? 01:01

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 01:07

No one's home at the hotel bar 01:20

I've been out looking for a silver lining 01:24

Just found a stray hair in the bedding 01:28

Maybe I'll drive out to the ocean 01:37

I heard someone order the Clams Casino 01:41

I said, "Hey, what's that?" 01:45

They said, "I don't know" 01:46

Her voice echoes in my head 01:49

Why'd you have to go and do me like that? 01:56

Don't you know I'm looking at my last chance? 02:03

02:10

Hey, I might never land on solid ground 02:34

Part of me will always be in the clouds 02:43

In my old suit in a hotel room but 02:49

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 02:59

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 03:02

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 03:07

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore 03:11

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore

I knew it was time to put this suit away

When I ripped the knees open eating the pavement

Doris loved her American cars

This one's seen just about every state

When it came time to take the keys away

She said, "Hey, hey-hey-hey"

Why'd you have to go and do me like that?

Don't you know I don't wanna laugh alone anymore?

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore

No one's home at the hotel bar

I've been out looking for a silver lining

Just found a stray hair in the bedding

Maybe I'll drive out to the ocean

I heard someone order the Clams Casino

I said, "Hey, what's that?"

They said, "I don't know"

Her voice echoes in my head

Why'd you have to go and do me like that?

Don't you know I'm looking at my last chance?

...

Hey, I might never land on solid ground

Part of me will always be in the clouds

In my old suit in a hotel room but

I don't wanna laugh alone anymore
