I Don't Want To Be Alone

Track B1
 
[Verse 1] She said she'd meet me in the bar at the Plaza Hotel "Wear a jacket and a tie" "What's the occasion?" She just smiled And she wouldn't say why [Pre-Chorus] Mmm, so here I am standing, waiting in the lobby Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit And when she sees me she burst out laughing "You're a sad sight honey, but you look so cute and [Chorus] I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure (Woah-oh) No, I don't want to be alone anymore And, I want you tonight Although you hurt me before" (Woah-oh, oh-oh) [Post-Chorus] It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore [Verse 2] Mmm, it's so confusing choosing sides in the heat of the moment Just to see if it's real Ooh, it's so erotic having you Tell me how it should feel [Pre-Chorus] But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts that I've got to face So ask me just one question, when this magic night is through Could it have been just anyone or did it have to be you? And, will you still be saying [Chorus] "I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure (oh-Woah) No, I don't want to be alone anymore And, I want you tonight Although you hurt me before (Woah-oh, oh-oh) [Post-Chorus] It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore [Sax Solo] [Pre-Chorus] But, don't you know that it's wrong, It's wrong, it's wrong, but like the song Being caught by the wink of an eye I can't be sure we'll get along But I'm willing to try As long as you can tell me [Chorus] "I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure No, no, no, I don't want to be alone anymore And I want you tonight Although you hurt me before" [Post-Chorus] It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said, "I'm sorry," but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore [Outro] I don't want to be alone anymore, ohh-ohhh No, I don't want to be alone anymore Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh No, I don't want to be alone anymore
