Lyrics
There's somebody waiting
Alone in the street
For someone to walk up and greet
Here you are, all alone in the city
Where's the love that you took to your side?
Lonely faces will stare through your eyes
In the night
And they'll say
"Woman sweet woman, please
Come home with me"
You're shining and willing and free
But your love is a common occurrence
Not like love that I feel in my heart
Still you know that maybe what I need
Is someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life
(Ah)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la, la
Someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life
The morning is breaking
The street lights are off
The sun will soon share all the cost
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Of a world that can be sort of heartless
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Not like love that I feel in my heart
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Still, you know that may be all you'll get
Is someone to lay down beside you
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside you
You just can't ask for more
