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
