somewhere turns off the lights
somebody all alone faces the night
you got to be strong when you're out on your own
'cause sooner or later we all sleep alone
nowhere holds the key to your heart
you may have lovers wherever you roam
the young and the young at heart waits
but the wait never ends in the soul
when you feel like it's all blown away
independence has come and into the night i go
don't make no promises that i can't keep
i won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs
you may have lovers wherever you roam
'cause we all sleep alone
