Someone To Love - Fountains of Wayne

Seth Shapiro got his law degree

He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93

Got some clients in the food industry

He says it’s not the money, it’s the recipes

He calls his mom, says he’s doing fine

She’s got somebody on the other line

Puts Coldplay on, pours a glass of wine

Curls up with a book about organized crime

When it’s late, and it’s hot

And a date with the Late Show’s all that you’ve got

Don’t give out, don’t give up One of these nights you might find someone to love

Beth McKenzie got the job of her dreams

Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens

It’s Thursday night she should be out on the scene

But she’s sitting at home watching «The King of Queens»

There’s something wrong that she can’t describe

She takes the contacts out of her eyes

Sets the alarm for 6:45

So she can get a little exercise

When it’s late, and it’s hot

And an hour in the shower is the best that you’ve got

Don’t give out, don’t give up One of these nights you might find someone to love

And you’re not the only one who’s lonely

Seth Shapiro is trying in vain

To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain

Beth McKenzie sees one just up ahead

She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead
