Lyrics Billy Joel – I Don’t Want To Be Alone
Text:
She said she’d meet me in the bar
At the Plaza Hotel
«Wear a jacket and a tie»
«What’s the occasion?»
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 want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure
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
‘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
It’s so confusing choosing sides
In the heat of the moment
Just to see if it’s real
It’s so erotic having you
Tell me how it should feel
But I’m avoiding all the hard cold facts
That I’ve 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
I don’t want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure
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
‘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
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 want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure
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
‘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
