Be My Lover

Lyrics

[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
