[00:16.720]She struts into the room
[00:19.790]Well, I don't know her
[00:24.460]But with a magnifying glance
[00:27.990]I just sort of look her over
[00:32.950]We have a drink or two
[00:35.680]Well, maybe three
[00:38.530]And then suddenly she starts telling me
[00:43.920]Her life story, she says
[00:48.880]"Baby, if you wanna be my lover
[00:53.110]You better take me home
[00:58.380]'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
[01:03.270]And I'm still on my own"
[01:13.090]I told her that I came
[01:16.380]From Detroit City
[01:20.310]And I played guitar
[01:22.650]In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band
[01:28.770]She asked me why
[01:30.490]The singer's name was Alice
[01:35.990]I said, listen baby
[01:38.460]You really wouldn't understand,
[01:43.360]Then she said
[01:44.630]"Baby, if you wanna be my lover
[01:48.820]You better take me home
[01:54.080]'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
[01:59.020]And I'm still on my own, on my own"
[02:19.700]"Oh baby, if you wanna be my lover
[02:25.940]You better take me home
[02:32.640]'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
[02:38.600]And I'm still on my own, own"
