She struts into the room |
|
But I don't know her |
|
But with a magnifying glance |
|
I just sort of looked her over, hmm |
|
We have a drink or two |
|
Well, maybe three |
|
And then suddenly she starts telling me |
|
Her life story |
|
She says |
|
|
|
Baby, if you wanna be my lover |
|
You better take me home |
|
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise |
|
And I'm still on my own |
|
|
|
Told her that I came |
|
From Detroit City |
|
And I played guitar |
|
In a long-haired rock and roll band |
|
She asked me why |
|
The singer's name was Alice |
|
I said listen, baby |
|
You really wouldn't understand |
|
|
|
And I said |
|
|
|
Oh baby, if you wanna |
|
Be my lover |
|
You better take me home |
|
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise |
|
And I'm still on my own |
|
|
|
Ooooooooh~~ |
