She struts into the room
Well I don't know her
But with a magnifyin' glance
I just sort of looked her over
We had a drink or two
Well maybe three
And then suddenly she starts
tellin' 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 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
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
Oh
