Something Better To Do Lyrics By Olivia Newton John

    i try to be patient i try not to moan
    but it’s driving me crazy tryin’ to live here alone

    my conversation gets nowhere
    when i talk to myself
    i’ve lost my sense of humour
    somewhere here on the shelf

    the moon is wasting its shine shining on me
    until i see you again
    i won’t be out in the moonlight
    well i’ll be sleeping by ten

    the birds are wasting their songs singin’ to me
    until i’m wakin’ with you
    until you’re back in my arms dear
    the birds will have to find something better to do

    a shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
    but it’s not much comfort when i’m cryin’ all night
    friends and relations
    are running out of patience with me
    i keep myself to myself but i’m no company

    the moon is wastin’ its shine shinin’ on me
    until i see you again
    i won’t be out in the moonlight
    well i’ll be sleepin’ by ten

    the birds are wastin’ their song singin’ to me
    until i’m wakin’ with you
    until you’re back in my arms dear
    the birds will have to find something better to do

    the birds will have to find something better to do
