i wish we could be alone

i wish we could be alone

so all of the world couldn't see

how much we have together

and how much you mean to me

i wish we could put out the flame

but oh

sweet baby

tell me would it be right?

i take the subway and you take the train

i got a husband and you got a wife

i wish we could love and then not always have to pretend

i wish we could be alone

all alone

i wish we could be alone

all alone

i know it's not simple

but i know that it's strong

and i know it will never be easy

but i know it ain't wrong

i wish it could always be the way it is when you're kissin' me

i wish we could be alone

all alone

i wish we could be alone

all alone

and so we'll go on and on

hidin' out the way that we do

keepin' it from all of our friends

there ain't a nothin' between us two

i wish we could hang about

and not worry who's givin' in or out

i wish we could be alone

all alone

i wish we could be alone

all alone

i wish we could be alone

all alone
