(Michael Bruce)   You strut into the room   Well I don't know ya   With a magnifying glance   I just sort of looked her over, hmm   We have a drink or two   Well, maybe three   And then suddenly you started telling me   Your life story   You said   Baby, if you wanna be my lover   You better take me home   'Cause it's a long long way to paradise   And I'm still on my own   Told ya that I came   From New York City   And I played guitar   In a real live rock and roll band   You asked me why   The singer's name was Alice   I said listen, baby   You really wouldn't understand   And I said   Baby, if you wanna   Be my lover   You better take me home   'Cause it's a long long way to paradise   And I'm still on my own   Baby, if you wanna   Be my lover   You better take me home   'Cause it's a long long way to paradise   And I'm still on my own
