He struts into the room
Well I don't know him
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of looked him over, hmm
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly he starts telling me
Him life story
He says

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 him that I came
From New York City
And I played guitar
In a long-haired rock and roll band
HE asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said listen, baby
You really wouldn't understand

And I said

Oh 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

Oh baby, if you wanna
Be my lover
You better take me hoooooome
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my oooooown
