[Verse 1]
Can't wait for night to come
That's when the fun really begins
My band cools off when that day is done
And then I tuck myself in

[Chorus]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
And I begin to realize, hey
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?

[Verse 2]
Let's go make memories
Precious and temporary
Of all the people I meet
I want to take you out with me

[Chorus]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
And I begin to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Oh, why can't I?
Or, do I?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Jesus is waiting on me
Just as he always does
Something'll be coming up
Just like it always does

[Chorus]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not so lonely
I begin to realize that
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?

[Outro]
Why can't I?
Or, do I?
Why can't I?
Ooh, do I?
Why can't I?
Oh, do I?
