  • I heard that you're on your own now
    So am I
    I'm living alone now
    I was wrong
    So were you
    What will you do?
    Are you glad to be free?
    Are you feeling lost just like me?
    Longing for company

    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
    Come around and talk awhile
    I need your smile
    You need a shoulder
    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
    And the door is open wide
    Come on inside
    Longing to see you
    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

    I find the days hard to face now
    Empty rooms
    There's much too much space now
    And the nights go so slow
    I'm sure you know
    Wish I knew what to do
    It would be so nice seeing you
    And it might help you too

    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
    Come around and talk awhile
    I need your smile
    You need a shoulder
    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
    And the door is open wide
    Come on inside
    Longing to see you
    Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

    Oh Sam, you know where I am
    Oh Sam, ooh Sam
    You know, you know
    You know where I am Writer/s: Donald Black, Hank Marvin, John Clifford Farrar
