Verse 1

All alone by the table of food

in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie

Only thinking of something to say

in the moment after the girl goes by

Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to

I eat another crudite

Chorus

I quit, I'm done

'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK

It's no fair and it's no fun

If every time it's gonna end the same way:

Me: zero, Big bad world: one

Verse 2

At the office we're all having cake

'cause it's someone's birthday I don't know who

Get my plate and I'm scanning the room

and the only seat is right next to you

I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth

Maybe you don't know who I am

Chorus

I quit, I'm done

'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK

It's no fair and it's no fun

If every time it's gonna end the same way:

Me: zero, Big bad world: one

Bridge

Staying in-side lying in bed

Noticing something that's not there

Follow my heart, follow my head

I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere

Verse 3

Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee

and search my head for an opening line

But I see by the look on her face

if I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time

What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?

Isn't it better not to know?

Chorus

I quit, I'm done

'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK

It's no fair and it's no fun

If every time it's gonna end the same way:

Me: zero, Big bad world: one
