Be My Lover (2023 Remaster)

[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 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"

[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 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

[Outro]

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

Own
