Somebody, somewhere, turns off the lights   Somebody all alone faces the night   You’ve got to be strong when you’re out on your own   Cause sooner or later, we all sleep alone      Nobody, nowhere, holds the key to your heart   When love’s a possession, it’ll tear you apart   You may have lovers wherever you roam   But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone      Oh, the young and the young at heart wait   But the wait never ends in the soul   When you feel love is all gone 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   But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone   Ooh, we all sleep alone      Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah   And I know, And I know how you feel   Like I’ve taken what you’re saying to me   Cause we all sleep alone   Yes, we all sleep alone
