We All Sleep Alone
Cher · Cher
Somebody, somewhere, turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
YouÂ’ve got to be strong when youÂ’re out on your own
Cause sooner or later, we all sleep alone
Nobody, nowhere, holds the key to your heart
When loveÂ’s a possession, itÂ’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
DonÂ’t make no promises that I canÂ’t keep
I wonÂ’t be no prisoner of somebodyÂ’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 IÂ’ve taken what youÂ’re saying to me
Cause we all sleep alone
Yes, we all sleep alone
Somebody all alone faces the night
YouÂ’ve got to be strong when youÂ’re out on your own
Cause sooner or later, we all sleep alone
Nobody, nowhere, holds the key to your heart
When loveÂ’s a possession, itÂ’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
DonÂ’t make no promises that I canÂ’t keep
I wonÂ’t be no prisoner of somebodyÂ’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 IÂ’ve taken what youÂ’re saying to me
Cause we all sleep alone
Yes, we all sleep alone
