What'll I Do Now

Same apartment, the same list of chores
Looks exactly as it did before
Nothing's changed, still seems like home
Except that I'm alone

Seven boxes on the Bran Flakes shelf
Rounding up, multiply by twelve
There's enough for eighty-four bowls
I turn to tell you, but I catch myself
Look around; there's no one else here
What'll I do now?
I'll do what I know how
Like always, but there's something new
Oooo
So what do I do now?
As long as time allows
I'll just do what I always do
But without you.
Seven-thirty, open up my eyes
Watch the laundry as it multiplies
I'm sticking to the same routine
Cook sleep work and clean
Jog my memory for anything I've missed
Cross another off my list
What'll I do now?
I'll do what I know how
Twice as many things to do
Oooo
So what do I do now?
As long as time allows
I'll just do what I always do
But without you.
I try to keep things simple, keep things
organized
I bet if you were here now you'd probably be
surprised
I take the trash out and I think about you
I'm trying my best but sometimes I wonder
what I'll do
What'll I do now?
I'll do it all somehow
It's just like me to muddle through
Oooo

Do the dishes and I sweep the floor
Everything is as it was before
