You strut into the room

Well I don't know ya

With a magnifying glance

I just sort of looked her over, hmm

We have a drink or two

Well, maybe three

And then suddenly you started telling me

Your life story

You said

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 ya that I came

From New York City

And I played guitar

In a real live rock and roll band

You asked me why

The singer's name was Alice

I said listen, baby

You really wouldn't understand

And I said

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

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
