This can be heard on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJjs5V6O784 if you are interetsed. It's about a visit that held so much promise and delivered too much disappointment for a lonely man.

Why did you bother You don’t need me You don’t feed me And we’re not having fun Why did you bother to come? You don’t hate me You won’t date me But I’m under your thumb Why did you bother to come? Did you think it was a holiday Where you could play All your little games on me Did you think my world is grey And you can stay as long as everything Is free You ain’t dying You ain’t trying And I think that I’ve won Why did you bother to come? It’s a crime To waste my time So I think that’s it hun Why did you bother to come? You’re not caring You’re not sharing Buying coffee for one Why did you bother to come?
