I hung up the telephone and turned on the television

After you told me we were through

In a little while I'll think about the things that you said

But right now I've other things to do



It's one-thirty now and in a little while

I'll be watching Sally Jesse Raphael

At three o'clock Matlock comes on

Then it's Jake and the Fatman at four

At five o'clock I'll watch the early news

Next PBS has foreign film reviews

And then you'll find me watching Murder She Wrote



CHORUS:

Yeah I din't really need you at all

So don't even bother to call

I'm doing fine on my own

I'll lean back in my easy chair

And pretend that I just don't care

That you're gone and I'm all alone



I'll look through the TV Guide, I don't care what's inside

Any old thing to pass the time

I don't care what but there must be something that I can do

To make me forget about you



It's six-thirty and I've really gotta go

Because I have to watch Eyewitness Video

Next Who's the Boss, it'll be your loss if you don't watch it with me

And then prime time, the fun never stops

America's Most Wanted, Secret Service and Cops

I'll get my RDA of Murder She Wrote



CHORUS



[Spanish translation:

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone

I turned on the TV to start my day

I think of a girl I used to know

I close my eyes and she's slipped away]



And I'm tired of being alone

For a little while for a little while

for a little while for a little while

I've been thinking about the things that you said

And though I'm hungering for you I regret to inform you

I'm too busy to come to the phone

Because that cool juicer guy is on Channel 29

And then I can watch Cher caress some fat lady's hair

And you know what comes next, phone 1-900-GOOD-SEX

And though it's time for People's Court

you know I'm really more the sort

To watch Murder She Wrote
