Somebody somewhere turns off the lights Somebody all alone faces the night You got to be strong when you're out on your own 'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone
Nobody nowhere holds the key to your heart When love's a possession, it'll tear you apart You may have lovers wherever you roam But sooner or later, oh, we all sleep alone
Oh, he young and the young at heart waits But the wait never ends in the soul When you feel like it's all blown away Independence has come and into the night I go
Don't make no promises that I can't keep I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs You may have lovers wherever you roam But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone
Ooh, we all sleep alone Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah And I know, and I know how you feel What you're thinkin', what you're saying to me 'Cause we all sleep alone, yes, we all sleep alone
