I feel so lonely when I'm left alone And I know You're having fun With all the other boys in town. Why am I the only one? I'm a first class loser that you don't wanna have around I keep calling in the dead of night Until you say you're gonna try treating me right. Well I know it sounds funny But I don't wanna be in love Just wanna piece of the action And there's no amount of money That could ever be too much To get a piece of the action To get piece of the action Just wanna piece of the action Just wanna piece of the action To get piece of the action. Little by little I'm beginning to learn You're many man woman and it's heavy on my mind. Any time you wanted love You just snapped your fingers And it's not very hard to find. I don't wanna tie you down but it'll Feel so good with you around. Well I know it sounds funny I don't wanna be the life of the party I just wanna little excitement lay it down. Well I know it sounds funny Well I know it sounds funny
