Lyrics of Be my lover

You stepped into the room, i don't know ya
With a magnifying glance, i just sort of looked ya over
We had a drink or two, well, maybe three
And then suddenly you started telling me your life story
You 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

Told ya that i came from new york city
And i played guitar in a real live rock and roll band
You asked me why the singer's name was alice?
I said, "listen, baby, you really wouldn't understand"
And 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

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
