Every Man for Himself

Jerry he's a workaholic never made time for a family He's dedicated to his gin and tonics But they don't give him what he needs Joey he pays alimony to two wives in different towns Tries to act like he ain't lonely But the single life will wear you down As for me I'm no different from the rest I've been comin' here ever since that woman left Now it's every man for himself tonight We're lookin' out for number one, tryin' to get on with our lives And it's heart breakin' and it's soulachin' When you got nobody else So friends it's good to have ya here tonight But it's every man for himself In walks that long haired beauty, we're all prayin' she's unattached I felt a chill go straight through Me I've never seen a smile like that I ain't worried 'bout Bill or Darryl, they're both wearin' wedding bands The rest of us are fish in a barrel She could have her pick but I understand She can't save us all from the lonely lives we lead So bartender would you send her a drink and tell her it's from me Now it's every man for himself tonight We're lookin' out for number one, tryin' to get on with our lives And it's heart breakin' and it's soulachin' When you got nobody else So friends it's good to have ya here tonight But it's every man for himself I'll be your shoulder friends When you feel like givin' up But if it ever comes down To finding love Now it's every man for himself tonight We're lookin' out for number one, tryin' to get on with our lives And it's heart breakin' and it's soulachin' When you got nobody else So friends it's good to have ya here tonight But it's every man for himself
