Smell the roses, taste the wine,
Pull the lights down low.
Lay your body close to mine,
Strike a match and watch it glow.
‘cause I spent years out and wondering
Chasing women, wasting time.
Well, that was on the lonely side of loving,
I ain’t lonely, babe, tonight.
Check your bags at the front door,
Won’t you stay for a little while?
I wanna know just for the lazing storm,
And I wanna taste your golden smile.
Once I knew a girl like you in Santa Fe,
She broke me down and made me cry.
Well, that was on the lonely side of loving,
And I ain’t lonely, babe, tonight.
So take your troubles and put them all on me,
And take my hand, I’ll follow where you lead.
Forget about tomorrow, tonight just know
I won’t let you go.
I spent years out and wondering
Chasing women, wasting time.
Well, that was on the lonely side of loving,
And I ain’t lonely, babe, tonight.
Yeah, that was on the lonely side of loving
And I ain’t lonely, babe,
No, I ain’t lonely, babe, I ain’t lonely, babe,
I ain’t lonely, babe, tonight.
