Don'T Be a Buzz Kill
The night is not young. Soon bars will close down.
You'll pay up your tab or pay for a round.
Did you get any numbers to put in your phone?
Are you leaving with someone or leaving alone?
I hope you have mingled the time you were here,
or did you just sit crying into your beer?
You have no excuses. You're not the only
person with hardships or thinking you're lonely.
Before they begin making last calls tonight,
don't be a buzz kill. Go do something right.
See folks all around you in this crowded bar.
You think there is no one as sad as you are?
Get up off that bar stool for a night you'll not rue.
Last call for lonely hearts. What will you do?
