I Don'T Want To Be Alone Tonight

I don't want to be alone tonight

Night falls on the city...
It's been a really long day...

I see people together
their love finds it's way
So I look in the mirror
a nice man smiles back at me
and so I ask him
Why must I be alone tonight?

I go out to dinner...
Sit at a table just for one...

I see people around me
whose love's just begun...
so I start to wonder
If I'm really all right...
because, I don't...
like to be alone at night

Chorus

So many years 
I've spent all alone
Never needing anyone...
An empty space... 
invades my soul...
and my life's just
come undone...
and I know I 
need someone...
someone who'll love me


I go to the movies...
I sit alone in my seat...

Young lovers surround me
Why can't they just let me be?
I thought I was happy
that I was doing fine...
but now I don't... 
want to be alone tonight

I walk through the city...
the city that never sleeps...

I see all the beauty...
and I feel an urgent need...
Where could she be hiding?
Please let her love light shine!
'cause I can't take...
being alone again tonight

Chorus


I go do some shopping...
and what do I see?

A beautiful woman...
smiling right back at me
and so I ask her...
do you have the time?
and she says yes...
what do you have in mind?

because, I don't... 
want to be alone tonight!
