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
