Lyrics

I never minded being alone too much
I'd just as soon figure it out on my own
But now the dogs next door are barking
And my chain's all tangled up
And I wish you'd throw me a bone

Just because I ain't wearing it on my sleeve
Doesn't mean you ain't holding it in your hands
Just because I ain't getting down on my knees
Doesn't mean I ain't begging you for a chance

I'm just sitting here alone
With nothing to do
Wondering out loud
How mine are you?

I could be in a crowd of people somewhere
Making small talk with anyone I wanted to
Write a letter to my congressman
Do the dishes, get my taxes done
Or be hung up on anyone else but you

Instead I'm sitting here alone
Feeling so blue
Darling won't you tell me
How mine are you?

Hey, maybe you'll come around
Let me in on the secret
If you need a fool to let down
Baby I can be it

'Cause I'm just sitting here alone
With nothing to do
Wondering out loud
How mine are you?

I'm just sitting here alone
Feeling so blue
Darling won't you tell me
How mine are you?
