She struts into the room
Well I don`t know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of 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 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
I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long haired rock `n` roll band
She asked me why
The singer`s name was Alice
I said listen baby
You really wouldn`t understand then I said
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 on my own
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 own
She struts into the room
Well I don`t know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of 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 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
I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long haired rock `n` roll band
She asked me why
The singer`s name was Alice

You really wouldn`t understand then I said
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 on my own
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 own
