Jeff Shapiro got his law degree
he moved to Brooklin from disconectity 93
got some clients in the float 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
comes up with a book about organized crime

when it's late, and it's hot
and a date with the Late Show
is all that you've got
don't give out
don't give up

one of this nights you might find
someone to love
someone to love

Beth Mackenzie got the job of her dreams
retouching photos for a magazine
it's thursday night she should be out on the scene
but she's sitting there home watching the king of queens

there's something wrong
that she can't describe
she takes her 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 this nights you might find
someone to love
someone to love

and you're not the only one who's lonely
and you're not the only one who's lonely
Ahhhhhh


Jeff Shapiro is trying in vain
to hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain
beth mackenzing sees one just up ahead
she cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead
