So Alone Lyrics by 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
