Be My Lover
MICHAEL BRUCE
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
