Lyrics:

Seth Shapiro got his law degree
He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93
Got some clients in the food industry
He says it's not the money, it's the recipes
He calls his mom, says he's doing fine
She's got somebody on the other line
Puts Colplay on, pours a glass of wine
And curls up with a book about organized crime


When it's late
And it's hot
And a date with the Late Show is all that you've got
Don't give out
Don't give up
One of these nights
You might find someone to love
Someone to love x2

Beth Mackenzie got the job of her dreams
Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens
It's Thursday night she should be out on the scene
But she's sitting at home watching The King of Queens
There's something wrong that she can't describe
She takes her contacts out of her eyes
Set's the alarm for 6:45
So she can get a little excerise

When it's late
And it's hot
And an hour in the shower is the best that you've got
Don't give out
Don't give up
One of these nights
You might find someone to love
Someone to love x2

And you're not the only one who's lonely x2
Seth Shapiro is trying in vain
To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain
Beth Mackenzie sees one just up ahead
She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead

uh uh uh uh uh x3
yeah, yeah
