It's 11:38 PM on a Monday late night
I'm binging and cramming for a test in the mornin'
But that's not what I'm thinkin' bout alright
I've got no time to waste
I don't want to put away my haste just spin and spin and spin

She says "John-Paul I just want us to be friends"
Yeah right
She hates my guts
I want her bad that Amanda gal (not lad)
I understood that's how life goes

ba da da ba da ba da ba dee diddle do

Oh I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Gonna end up alone tonight
I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Paul's got Jackie
Those two are oh so wacky
I want Amanda but I can't have her
Maybe I should settle for Diane

Now that bum over there is stealing you from me
I can't drink I'm only 15
He's Charlie Weaver from Leave it to Beaver
And I'm Maria Macnamee

ba da da ba da ba da ba dee diddle do

Oh I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Gonna end up alone tonight
I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Paul's got Jackie
Those two are oh so wacky
I want Amanda but I can't have her
Maybe I should settle for Diane

Now Paul is with Jackie
I can settle for Nicole
But she's ugly and way too damn old
Laura is kind of cute but too agressive and don't forget she has a boyfriend
Then there's Stephanie but she's a dingy
And Michelle but she's not my type
That's about it I'm not full of....stuff
Maybe I should settle for Diane

ba da da ba da ba da ba dee diddle do

Oh I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Gonna end up alone tonight
I'm gonna end up alone Mr.Piano Man
Paul's got Jackie
Those two are oh so wacky
I want Amanda but I can't have her
Maybe I should settle for Diane

Maybe I should settle for Diane
Of course I'm not in love with her
I'm in love with Amanda
