Big Bad World One Lyrics - Singles - Jonathan Coulton

All alone by the table of food in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie 

Only thinking of something to say in the moment after the girl goes by 

Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to 

I eat another crudite 

I quit, I'm done 

Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out okay 

It's no fair, it's no fun 

If every time it's gonna end the same way: 

Me: zero, Big bad world: one 

At the office we're all having cake cause it's someone's birthday, I don't know who 

Get my plate and I'm scanning the room and the only seat is right next to you 

I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth 

Maybe you don't know who I am 

I quit, I'm done 

Cause I don't think 's gonna turn out okay 

It's no fair, it's no fun 

If every time it's gonna end the same way: 

Me: zero, Big bad world: one 

Staying in side, lying in bed 

Noticing something that's not there 

Follow my heart, follow my head 

I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere 

Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee and search my head for an opening line 

But I see by the look on her face if I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time 

What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough? 

Isn't it better not to know? 

I quit, I'm done 

Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out okay 

It's no fair, it's no fun 

If every time it's gonna end the same way: 

Me: zero, Big bad world: one
