Lou Reed - So Alone lyrics

She calls on the phone

She says she doesn't want to be alone

She says it's making her neurotic

But please don't mistake it for being erotic

So alone, so all alone

She says let's go for a walk

We'll have a drink and maybe we will talk

And he thinks she has possibilities

If she could just put away her rosary

So alone, nobody wants to be alone

But I just didn't know

I swear to you, I just didn't know

I would never make you sad

If I had known I never would have

Said those things to you

You have to be crazy to say those things to you

Let's face it I made a mistake

Well you know, fools rush in where angels take a break

I can't be smart all of the time

And anyway I didn't know you were making time over him

To tell you the truth, I forget all about him

And you know, I don't think it's nice

Asking one man about another man's vice

I don't care if you pick my head

As long as we end up in bed

Alone, just the two of us alone

I just didn't know

I swear to god, I just didn't know

Can't you understand that it's frightening

When you hear women talking about castrating and hating men

Who wants to know about how you hate men

Well, you said now you wanted to dance

So now we're going to dance

You said that you weren't complete

But we're going to put you on your feet

You said that you were very vexed

You told me to forget about sex

You said you liked me for my mind

Well, I really love your behind

Oh, get up and boogie, oh baby, get up and dance

Oh, get, get, get, get up and boogie, baby, oh, get up and dance

Shake your booty, mama, oh, get up and dance

Your points very clear

You're not one to cry into your beer

Why don't we go to my place

Believe me, I'm very chaste

And I'm so alone, ao all alone

Sure all men are beasts

Hey, look, I'll sit here quietly and I'll stare at my feet

I don't blame you for taking umbrage

With animals staring at your cleavage

So alone, we're so all alone

Hey, do you mind if I turn out the light

Don't take offense, but why don't you spend the night

I know your passions run very deep

But at this point we both need sleep

So alone, and who wants to be alone
