"I Don't Want To Be Alone" lyrics
"I Don't Want To Be Alone"
She said she'd meet me in the bar at the Plaza Hotel
"Wear a jacket and a tie"
"What's the occasion?" She just smiled
And she wouldn't say why
Mm, so here I am standing, waiting in the lobby
Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit
And when she sees me she burst out laughing
"You're a sad sight, honey, but you look so cute and
I don't want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure (Whoa-oh)
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
And, I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before" (Whoa-oh, oh-oh)
It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door
I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool
And I don't want to be alone anymore
Mm, it's so confusing choosing sides in the heat of the moment
Just to see if it's real
Ooh, it's so erotic having you
Tell me how it should feel
But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts that I've got to face
So ask me just one question, when this magic night is through
Could it have been just anyone or did it have to be you?
And, will you still be saying
"I don't want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure (oh-whoa)
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
And, I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before (Whoa-oh, oh-oh)
It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door
I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool
And I don't want to be alone anymore
But don't you know that it's wrong
It's wrong, it's wrong, but like the song
Being caught by the wink of an eye
I can't be sure we'll get along
But I'm willing to try
As long as you can tell me
"I don't want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure
No, no, no, I don't want to be alone anymore
And I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before"
It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door
I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool
And I don't want to be alone anymore
I don't want to be alone anymore, oh-oh
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh
No, I don't want to be alone anymore

Now you know this can't be true
Even though the sun shines down upon you now
Sometimes you must feel blue
You make the best of each new day
You try not to be sad
Even...
Seals & Crofts - "Fiddle In The Sky" Sometimes in the middle of the lonely night, no one there to be his friend.
He'd grab the fiddle and he'd hold it tight. The angels there would gather 'round him.
And he would all through the night....

Todd Rundgren - "We Gotta Get You A Woman" Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Tell no lies
You get wise

There's only one thing...
