What'll I Do Now

Same apartment, the same list of chores

Looks exactly as it did before

Nothing's changed, still seems like home

Except that I'm alone

Seven boxes on the Bran Flakes shelf

Rounding up, multiply by twelve

There's enough for eighty-four bowls

I turn to tell you, but I catch myself

Look around; there's no one else here

What'll I do now?

I'll do what I know how

Like always, but there's something new

Oooo

So what do I do now?

As long as time allows

I'll just do what I always do

But without you.

Seven-thirty, open up my eyes

Watch the laundry as it multiplies

I'm sticking to the same routine

Cook sleep work and clean

Jog my memory for anything I've missed

Cross another off my list

What'll I do now?

I'll do what I know how

Twice as many things to do

Oooo

So what do I do now?

As long as time allows

I'll just do what I always do

But without you.

I try to keep things simple, keep things organized

I bet if you were here now you'd probably be surprised

I take the trash out and I think about you

I'm trying my best but sometimes I wonder what will I do

What'll I do now?

I'll do it all somehow

It's just like me to muddle through

Oooo

Do the dishes and I sweep the floor

Everything is as it was before
