| [00:16.720] |
She struts into the room |
| [00:19.790] |
Well, I don't know her |
| [00:24.460] |
But with a magnifying glance |
| [00:27.990] |
I just sort of look her over |
| [00:32.950] |
We have a drink or two |
| [00:35.680] |
Well, maybe three |
| [00:38.530] |
And then suddenly she starts telling me |
| [00:43.920] |
Her life story, she says |
| [00:48.880] |
"Baby, if you wanna be my lover |
| [00:53.110] |
You better take me home |
| [00:58.380] |
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise |
| [01:03.270] |
And I'm still on my own" |
| [01:13.090] |
I told her that I came |
| [01:16.380] |
From Detroit City |
| [01:20.310] |
And I played guitar |
| [01:22.650] |
In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band |
| [01:28.770] |
She asked me why |
| [01:30.490] |
The singer's name was Alice |
| [01:35.990] |
I said, listen baby |
| [01:38.460] |
You really wouldn't understand, |
| [01:43.360] |
Then she said |
| [01:44.630] |
"Baby, if you wanna be my lover |
| [01:48.820] |
You better take me home |
| [01:54.080] |
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise |
| [01:59.020] |
And I'm still on my own, on my own" |
| [02:19.700] |
"Oh baby, if you wanna be my lover |
| [02:25.940] |
You better take me home |
| [02:32.640] |
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise |
| [02:38.600] |
And I'm still on my own, own" |
