Lyrics
Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb
In the all night city
Living in his lonely limousine
And though he never has to worry
He's the only one, and only one he's ever gonna need
Absolutely, he's in definite need
Of a woman, child
And some better kind of love when the hot town hurt him
And he knows how happy he could be
But he don't know if he can make it
Between the money and another lonely night
Now the time has come
Got to stay or run
Know the time has come
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
Another pretty face, another body ache
Still awake three-thirty
Dial another number
No one home
So, then he wastes his time with TV
And he wonders if he lost the only one
Wonders if he's free
Too afraid to see
How alone he could be
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
You've been alone too long
I know you don't want to be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely
Don't want to be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely, lonely
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Don't want to be lonely
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
Maybe we've been alone too long
You don't want to be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely
Don't want to be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely, lonely
You-ooh, ooh-ooh
Don't want to be lonely
Maybe baby, gonna work it out together, yeah
You-ooh, ooh-ooh
Don't want to be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely, lonely
You-ooh, ooh-ooh
Don't want to be lonely
