(John Oates)


Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb in the all night city

Living in his lonely limousine

And though he never has to worry

He's the only one and only one he's ever gonna need

Absolutely he's in definite need


Of a woman, child, and some better kind of love when the hot town's hurt him

And he knows how happy he could be

But he don't know if he can make it

Between the money and another lonely night

But now the time has come

Got to stay or run

Now the time has come


Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long

And you don't want to be lonely


Another pretty face another body ache still awake three-thirty

Dial another number -- No one home

So he wastes his time with TV

And he wonders if he lost the only one

And wonders if he's free

Too afraid to see

How alone he could be


Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long

And you don't want to be lonely
