She struts into the room
   Well 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
  
   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, shucks
