Oh these awful things you say
I take a slice of provolone
And I take my plastic tray
And I sit down all alone
My plate is filled with linguine
But I feel so empty inside
I don't want these carrots and zucchini
I think I've lost my appetite
I think I took more than I can eat
The time has come to admit defeat
You left me at the salad bar
Tell me - how did we drift so far?
The tears roll down my cheeks
As I stand in line
Eating soup, potato leek
Wishing you were still mine
The buffet, it's all you can eat
But what I do?
I don't want these slices of meat
All I want is you!
I think I took more than I can chew
Now I don't want this bowl of stew
You left me at the salad bar
Tell me - how did we drift so far?
You left me at the salad bar!
The salad bar!
Caesar salad! Caesar salad!
The salad bar!
The croutons - have you forgotten?
The salad bar!
You left me at the salad bar!
