Detroit City - Alice Cooper

She struts into the room

Well, I don’t know her

But with a magnifying glance

I just sort of look her over

We have a drink or two

Well, maybe three

And then suddenly she starts telling me

Her life story, she says

«Baby, if you wanna be my lover

You better take me home

'Cause it’s a long, long way to paradise

And I’m still on my own»

I told her that I came

From Detroit City

And I played guitar

In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band

She asked me why

The singer’s name was Alice

I said, listen baby

You really wouldn’t understand, then I said

«Baby, if you wanna be my lover

You better take me home

'Cause it’s a long, long way to paradise

And I’m still on my own, on my own»

«Oh baby, if you wanna be my lover

You better take me home

'Cause it’s a long, long way to paradise

And I’m still on my own, own»
