Lyrics

?It?s hard to cook for just one you know?, he said
I looked across the table and nodded my head
?Now I just buy the small can of peas?, he said
?Because who want to eat them two days in a row?

Jimmy?s so used to making dinner for two
But now she?s past on to another world and wonders what he will do
He?s living after 40 years for the first time alone
He?s older and his kids have grown what?s a man supposed to do

Chorus:
It?s easier to be alone when you?re not used to having someone there
Maybe that?s why some people never get too close
It?s easier to be alone when you?re not used to having someone there
But it?s better to have loved and lost then to never love at all

?I can make a good wilted lettuce salad?, he explained the recipe to me
?I suppose I?ll make it this summer?, as he gazed across the room
and as he spoke you could tell that he was thinking of her
how would he get by, what?s a man supposed to do.
