  • 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
    So here I am standing waiting in the lobby
    Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit
    And when she sees me, she busts 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
    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

    It's so confusing choosing sides
    In the heat of the moment
    Just to see if it's real
    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
    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

    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
    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
    And I don't want to be alone anymore
