I Don't Want to Be Alone

Lyrics

She said she'd meet me in the bar at The Plaza Hotel
 "Wear a jacket and a tie"
 "What's the occasion?" She just smiled and she wouldn't say why
 Mmh, so here I am standing, waiting in the lobby
 Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit
 And when she sees me she busts out laughing
 "You're a sad sight honey, but you look so cute and
 I don't wanna be alone anymore
 I was checking you out, I was just making sure (oh-oh)
 No, I don't want to be alone anymore
 And I want you tonight, although you hurt me before" (oh-oh)
 It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door
 I said, "I'm sorry", but she said it was cool
 And I don't want to be alone anymore
 ♪
 Mmh, it's so confusing choosing sides in the heat of the moment
 Just to see if it's real
 Ooh, it's so erotic having you tell me how it should feel
 But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts that I got to face
 So ask me just one question, when this magic night is through
 "Could it have been just anyone or did it have to be you?"
 And, will you still be saying
 I don't wanna be alone anymore
 I was checking you out, I was just making sure (oh-oh)
 No, I don't want to be alone anymore
 And I want you tonight, although you hurt me before" (oh-oh)
 It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door
 I said, "I'm sorry", but she said it was cool
 And I don't wanna be alone anymore
 ♪
 Mmh, but don't you know that it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong?
 But like the song, being caught by the wink of an eye
 I can't be sure we'll get along, but I'm willing to try
 As long as you can tell me
 I don't wanna be alone anymore
 I was checking you out, I was just making sure
 No, no, no, I don't want to be alone anymore
 And I want you tonight, although you hurt me before
 It didn't matter that I felt like a fool
 I forgot when she walked through the door
 Said, "I'm sorry", but she said it was cool
 And I don't wanna be alone anymore
 I don't want to be alone anymore
 Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 No, I don't wanna be alone anymore
 Oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 No, I don't want to be alone anymore
 Oh-oh-oh
