Alone

I hear the ticking of the clock
 I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
 I wonder where you are tonight
 No answer on the telephone
 And the night goes by so very slow
 Oh, I hope that it won't end though
 Alone
 I always fared well on my own
 I never really cared until I met you
 And now it chills me to the bone
 How do I get you alone?
 You don't know how long I have wanted
 To touch your lips and hold you tight
 You don't know how long I have waited
 And I was going to tell you tonight
 But the secret is still my own
 And my love for you is still unknown
 Alone
 I always fared well on my own
 I never really cared until I met you
 And now it chills me to the bone
 How do I get you alone?
 Tell me, how do I get you alone?
 How do I get you alone?
 Tell me, how do I get you alone?
 Alone, alone
 I hear the ticking of the clock
 I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
