She struts into the room 
But I don't know her 
But with a magnifying glance 
I just sort of looked her over, hmm 
We have a drink or two 
Well, maybe three 
And then suddenly she starts telling me 
Her life story 
She says 
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 her that I came 
From Detroit City 
And I played guitar 
In a long-haired rock and roll band 
She asked me why 
The singer's name was Alice 
I said listen, baby 
You really wouldn't understand 
And I said  ...... (with style here)
Oh 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 
Ooooooooh
