For someone who¡¯s got everything, life can still be rough
|
If things are what you¡¯re lookin¡¯ for, there¡¯s never quite enough
|
And all the tea in China won¡¯t make a house a home
|
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
|
|
There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
|
Or someone you can call around if you¡¯ve lost all your pride
|
Please don¡¯t be mistaken. I don¡¯t mean to put that down
|
I know there¡¯s times when anything is better than sleepin¡¯ alone
|
|
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
|
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
|
|
You know it¡¯s not company you are lookin¡¯ for
|
You know it¡¯s not just pleasure, you know it¡¯s somethin¡¯ more
|
You know it¡¯s not the answer if it¡¯s not like comin¡¯ home
|
If the one who¡¯s there doesn¡¯t really care, it¡¯s worse than sleepin¡¯ alone
|
|
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
|
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
|
|
For someone who¡¯s got everything, life can still be rough
|
If things are what you¡¯re lookin¡¯ for, there¡¯s never quite enough
|
And all the gold that glitters won¡¯t make a house a home
|
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
|
You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
