[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
I 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]
"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
[Outro]
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
