LOU REED - So Alone lyrics

rate me

She calls on the phone<br>She says she doesn't want to be alone<br>She says it's making her neurotic<br>But please don't mistake it for being erotic<br><br>So alone, so all alone<br><br>She says let's go for a walk<br>We'll have a drink and maybe we will talk<br>And he thinks she has possibilities<br>If she could just put away her rosary<br><br>So alone, nobody wants to be alone<br><br>But I just didn't know<br>I swear to you, I just didn't know<br>I would never make you sad<br>If I had known I never would have<br>Said those things to you<br>You have to be crazy to say those things to you<br><br>Let's face it I made a mistake<br>Well you know, fools rush in where angels take a break<br>I can't be smart all of the time<br>And anyway I didn't know you were making time over him<br><br>To tell you the truth, I forget all about him<br><br>And you know, I don't think it's nice<br>Asking one man about another man's vice<br>I don't care if you pick my head<br>As long as we end up in bed<br><br>Alone, just the two of us alone<br><br>I just didn't know<br>I swear to god, I just didn't know<br>Can't you understand that it's frightening<br>When you hear women talking about castrating and hating men<br>Who wants to know about how you hate men<br><br>Well, you said now you wanted to dance<br>So now we're going to dance<br>You said that you weren't complete<br>But we're going to put you on your feet<br>You said that you were very vexed<br>You told me to forget about sex<br>You said you liked me for my mind<br>Well, I really love your behind<br><br>Oh, get up and boogie, oh baby, get up and dance<br>Oh, get, get, get, get up and boogie, baby, oh, get up and dance<br>Shake your booty, mama, oh, get up and dance<br><br>Your points very clear<br>You're not one to cry into your beer<br>Why don't we go to my place<br>Believe me, I'm very chaste<br><br>And I'm so alone, ao all alone<br><br>Sure all men are beasts<br>Hey, look, I'll sit here quietly and I'll stare at my feet<br>I don't blame you for taking umbrage<br>With animals staring at your cleavage<br><br>So alone, we're so all alone<br><br>Hey, do you mind if I turn out the light<br>Don't take offense, but why don't you spend the night<br>I know your passions run very deep<br>But at this point we both need sleep<br><br>So alone, and who wants to be alone
