[Verse 1]
Dinner and cards at my best friend's house
Is lately what I call my big night out
And the man at the corner news stand
Says I'm his best customer

[Verse 2]
My evenin's are planned for me by the TV Guide
But it keeps me from takin' up some young man’s time
And him takin' up mine
Oh, that's meant for you, babe

[Chorus]
So, darlin', finish your scoop, I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to
And it's made me so strong
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well, I'll never mind comin' home alone

[Verse 3]
You know, this ol' place could use a new face
Sometimes I feel like a woman goin' to waste
Though I know it's only a matter of days
And lonely nighttimes

[Verse 4]
For as sure as the leaves return to the trees
And my window fills with a summer breeze
You'll surely be here with me
Oh, and I want you babe
[Chorus]
So, darlin', finish your scoop, I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to
And it's made me so strong
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well I'll never mind comin' home alone

[Chorus]
No, darlin', finish your scoop and I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to
And it's made me so strong, baby
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well I'll never mind, ah, comin' home alone
