Requiem for House Beautiful

That Charming was such a tease-leading me along, making me picture how good we'd be together, whispering sweet nothings, asking me to love him and then telling me I can't have him because after all, he's unavailable. In the end, it was worse than hearing, "oh, by the way, I'm married. Will that be a problem?" He broke my heart and left me without a plan. While thinking about this bad boy house, I kept hearing this in my head:

I'm so tired of being alone,
I'm so tired of on-my-own,
won't you help me, girl,
just as soon as you can.
People say that I've found a way,
to make you say,
that you love me.
But baby,
you didn't go for that,
me, it's a natural fact,
that I wanna come back,
show me where it's at, baby.

I'm so tired of being alone,
I'm so tired of on-my-own,
won't you help me, girl,
just as soon as you can.
I guess you know that I, uh,
love you so,
even though,
you don't want me no more,
hey, hey, hey, I'm cryin' tears,
all through the years,
I tell you like it is,
honey, love me if you can.

Ya baby,
tired of being alone here by myself,
I tell ya, I'm tired baby,
I'm tired of being all wrapt up late at night,
in my dreams, nobody but you, baby.
Sometimes I wonder,
if you love me like you say you do,
You see baby, I've been thinking about you,
I've been wanting to get next to you, baby,
Sometimes I hold my arms and I say,
Mmmmm hmmmm hmmmm,
O baby, needing you has proven to me,
to be my greatest dream.

I'm so tired of being alone,
I'm so tired of on-my-own,
...Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby,
Baby, baby, ya...

Can you hear the music? No? Try this:



As an aside to my daughter, every time I hear this song, I think of a certain girl singing this karaoke style on the way to Chicago.
