| Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights | |
| Somebody all alone faces the night | |
| You got to be strong when you're out on your own' | |
| Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone | |
| Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart | |
| When love's a possession, it'll tear you apart | |
| You may have lovers wherever you roam | |
| But sooner or later, oh, we all sleep alone | |
| Oh, he young and the young at heart waits | |
| But the wait never ends in the soul | |
| When you feel like it's all blown away | |
| Independence has come and into the night | |
| I goDon't make no promises that | |
| I can't keep | |
| I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs | |
| You may have lovers wherever you roam | |
| But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone | |
| Ooh, we all sleep alone | |
| Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah | |
| And I know, and | |
| I know how you feel | |
| What you're thinkin', what you're saying to me' | |
| Cause we all sleep alone, yes, we all sleep alone |
