Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what it's like
to feel somebody next to me
and hear her breathing peacefully
when I wake up at ni-g-ht.
wake up at night
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what to say--
if I meet somebody who
might easily resemble you
I smile, but look a-w-a-y
I look away.
Been alone so long
how to make the whole thing right
and how to help if she's uptight
and when to run and when to fight
how to make her stay the night--
If I ever knew.
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what it's like
to feel somebody next to me
and hear her breathing peacefully
when I wake up at ni-g-ht
wake up at night
