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
We all sleep alone

The 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
Won't be no prisoner
Of somebody's need
Well you may have lovers
Wherever you roam
But sooner or later
We all sleep alone

And I know, and I know
How you feel
What you're thinking
What you're saying to me
Cause we all sleep alone
