I Don't Want to Be Alone

Artist: Billy Joel Album: Glass Houses Category: Pop
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

Mm, so here I am standing, waiting in the lobby
Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit
And when she sees me she burst out laughing
"You're a sad sight, honey, but you look so cute and

I don't want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure (Whoa-oh)
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
And, I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before" (Whoa-oh, 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

Mm, 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've 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 want to be alone anymore
I was checking you out
I was just making sure (oh-whoa)
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
And, I want you tonight
Although you hurt me before (Whoa-oh, 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

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 want to 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
'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

I don't want to be alone anymore, oh-oh
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh
No, I don't want to be alone anymore
