Every night I sit home alone Sittin' by my radio I'm just hopin' that something good will come on But it never does Hours away back in the street Sally's out with some man she's met She is just hopin' that somethin' good will come along But it never does I'm still hopin' That someone could tell me I sit here prayin' that somebody knows I keep on wishin' that some could tell me Exactly what I'm gonna do So late at night I make up games I try to make the silence play What harm could it do Sometimes I try and call you I seen 'em come I seen 'em go Some are faster now some not so You know Sally she ain't a bit of fun anymore I'm still hopin' Hopi' someone could tell me I sit here prayin' that somebody knows I keep on wishin' that someone could tell me Exactly what I'm going though So every night I'm home alone Just sittin' by my radio Just hopin' that somethin' good will come along But it never does I'm still hopin' that someone could tell me I sit here prayin' that somebody knows I keep on wishin' that someone could tell me Exactly what I'm doin' here
