I Don’t Want to Be Alone Songtext
von Billy Joel

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
