There`s somebody waiting alone in the street
For someone to walk up and greet
Here you are all alone in the city
Where`s the love that you took to your side
Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night
And they`ll say
Woman sweet woman
Please come home with me
You`re shining and willing and free
But your love is a common occurrence
Not like love that I feel in my heart
Still you know that may be what I need
Is someone to lay down beside me
And even though it`s not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You`re the story of my life
Someone to lay down beside me
And even though it`s not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You`re the story of my life
The morning is breaking
The street lights are off
The sun will soon share all the cost
Of a world that can be sort of heartless
Not like love that I feel in my heart
Still you know that may be all you`ll get
Is someone to lay down beside you
And even though it`s not real
Just someone to lay down beside you
You just can`t ask for more
