Single Apartment - Brazzaville

Jean was a heartbreaker in her day

Carefree and dancing the night away

Then she turned 41 oh oh oh

Had her moment in the sun oh oh oh

Now she eats all alone

And talks to her best friend on the phone

She wakes up at 6:30 everyday

And heads off to work at the Blue Cafe

But the money’s not enough oh oh oh

And her clothes are lookin' rough oh oh oh

And her car needs an alternator

When will it all let up

And her single apartment’s closing in

Her loneliness won’t give way

All the girls on the TV look so thin

And she’s already turnin' gray

And the guy that she met on the internet

He turned out to be a creep

She says, «God I’ve got so many dreams to share

If you’d send me a good man to keep.»

At Christmas, she flies out to Illinois

She treasures the time with her sister’s boys

She was unlucky in love oh oh oh

Now the years are catchin' up oh oh oh

And at 3 AM sometimes it’s just a little too much
