I've just seen another sunset on my own. 
All day long I've been alone, 
and I must do something about it, 
yes I must do something about it. 

Played another losing cardgame with myself. 
Lonely joker on ashalf, 
and I must do something about it, 
yes I must do something about it. 

No one on the party line, 
No one seems to need a dime, 
No one even knows that I'm feeling this way. 

I've just seen another suset on my own. 
All day long I've been alone, 
and I must do something about it, 
yes I must do something about it. 

No one seems to need my vote, 
No one has to change a note, 
No one here to hold my coat, 
Oh, what a day. 

I've just watched another movie on T.V. 
No one's in the house but me, 
and I must do something about it, 
yes I must do something about it. 

Oh, oh, something about it. 

I've just dialed another number on my phone. 
All day long I've been alone, 
and I must do something about it...

Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group's tenure. more »
