She struts into the room
Well I dont know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of looked her over hmm
We had 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 its a long long way to paradise
And Im 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 singers name was Alice
I said listen baby you really wouldnt understand
And I said
Baby if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
Cause its a long long way to paradise
And Im still on my own
On my own
Oh baby if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
Cause its a long long way to paradise
And Im still on my own
Oh
