What a shame
Only twenty candles even knew my name
And that ain't much at all but still they came
'Cause I guess somebody saw
The light's still on in my room
The light's still on in my room
Just the same
What a waste
I guess they've gone and put me in my place
And I can't hardly breathe, no disgrace
'Cause the fact that's killing me
The light's still on in my room
The light's still on in my room
Just in case
That a million go without, but I'll get mine
And I wanna give it back
So just as soon as you are able
Plug in your extension cable to my head
And the radio is lying to me, loud and clear
'Cause the weather doesn't ever really get in here
Who knew that monkeys could be
So sophisticated
What a mess
And I guess they're gonna put this boy to rest
And my mama told me, "Son, it's for the best"
And I'm not the only one
With the light still on in my room
The light still on in my room
I confess
