Been alone so long

That I've forgotten what it's like

To feel somebody next to me

And hear her breathing peacefully

When I wake up at night

Been alone so long

That I've forgotten what to say

If I meet somebody who might

Easily resemble you

I smile, but look away

I look away

Been alone so long

That I've forgotten what to do

How to make the whole thing right

And how to help if she's uptight

And when to run and when to fight

How to make her stay the night

That's if I ever knew

Been alone so long

That I've forgotten what it's like

To feel somebody next to me

And hear her breathing peacefully

When I wake up at night

Wake up at night
