Lyrics
I feel so lonely when I'm left alone
I experience loneliness when left alone.
And I know
Acknowledgment of the situation.
You're having fun
Awareness that the person is enjoying themselves.
With all the other boys in town.
Indication that the person is socializing with others.
Why am I the only one?
Expressing a feeling of being the only one left out.
I'm a first class loser that you don't wanna have around
Self-perceived as a loser not wanted around.
I keep calling in the dead of night
Continued attempts to connect, even in the late hours.
Until you say you're gonna try treating me right.
Seeking assurance of being treated right.
Well I know it sounds funny
Recognition of the ironic or amusing aspect of the situation.
But I don't wanna be in love
Not desiring romantic love.
Just wanna piece of the action
Expressing a desire for excitement or involvement without commitment.
And there's no amount of money
Emphasizing that no amount of money is too much for the desired experience.
That could ever be too much
Reiteration of the willingness to pay for the desired experience.
To get a piece of the action
Reaffirming the desire to be part of the action.
To get piece of the action
Repetition for emphasis on wanting a piece of the action.
Just wanna piece of the action
Reiteration of the desire for involvement.
Just wanna piece of the action
Repetition to emphasize the wish for participation.
To get piece of the action.
Stating the goal of being part of the action.
Little by little I'm beginning to learn
Gradual realization and acceptance of the complexities of the person.
You're many man woman and it's heavy on my mind.
Recognizing the person as both man and woman, causing mental strain.
Any time you wanted love
Historical observation of how love was obtained effortlessly.
You just snapped your fingers
Describing a simple gesture to attract love.
And it's not very hard to find.
Implying that finding love is not a challenge.
I don't wanna tie you down but it'll
Expressing the desire for a positive feeling with the person around.
Feel so good with you around.
Expressing the positive emotions experienced in the person's presence.
Well I know it sounds funny
Reiteration of the reluctance to be the center of attention.
I don't wanna be the life of the party
