Be My Lover

She struts into the room Well I don't know her But with a magnifying glance I just sorta look her over We have a drink or two, well maybe three And then suddenly, she starts telling me her life story She says Baby, if you want to, 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 her that I came from Detroit City And I played guitar in a long haired rock and roll band She asked me why the singer's name was Alice I said 'listen baby, you really wouldn't understand' And I said Baby, if you want to, be my lover You better take me home Cause it's a long long way to paradise And I'm still on my own. On my own, Oh, baby, if you want to, be my lover You better take me home, Cause it's a long, long way, to paradise, And I'm still on my own, own
