Alone Deserved

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, scrolling through my phone, it's a real tough ride,
Need for connection, but I'm just a side.
Throwin' up a meme, will it get me a like?
Maybe my cat can help, she’s got more followers than I.

[VERSE 1]
My children all grown, they left with a bang,
I text them a joke, but they don’t understand my slang.
I try to keep cool, but let me tell you,
My TikTok moves look more like a zoo!

[CHORUS]
Oh, need for connection, it’s such a wild chase,
I’m swiping through profiles just to find my place.
I’m just a dad with a sad online face,
Scrolling and hoping for a friend... who’s not from space!

[VERSE 2]
Invited my neighbors, they all said “no,”
But they did send a text saying “maybe next show?”
I baked them some cookies, but they sent me a meme,
Turns out my brownie skills aren’t quite the dream.

[CHORUS]
Oh, need for connection, it’s such a wild chase,
I’m swiping through profiles just to find my place.
I’m just a dad with a sad online face,
Scrolling and hoping for a friend... who’s not from space!

[BRIDGE]
Now I’m showing cat photos like they’re works of art,
Playing bingo online—thank you, restart!
Zoom calls in pajamas, what a fashion trend,
Got more Zoom debt than a financial mend!

[CHORUS]
Oh, need for connection, it’s such a wild chase,
I’m swiping through profiles just to find my place.
I’m just a dad with a sad online face,
Scrolling and hoping for a friend... who’s not from space!

[OUTRO]
So here’s to the likes and the virtual chat,
Just a click away from a friend and a cat.
I’ll keep on connecting till I’m just a meme,
‘Cause the need for affection is, uh, kinda extreme!
