Somebody, somewhere, turns off the lights Somebody all alone faces the night You've 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, ooh, we all sleep alone Oh, the young and the young at heart wait But the wait never ends in the soul When you feel love is all gone 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 Like I've taken what you're saying to me Cause we all sleep alone Yes, we all sleep alone
