[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone
~#**************#~
So all of the world couldnt see
~#**************#~
How much we have together
~#**************#~
And how much you mean to me
~#**************#~
I wish we could put out the flame
~#**************#~
But oh, sweet baby
~#**************#~
Tell me, would it be right?
~#**************#~
I take the subway and you take the train
~#**************#~
I got a husband and you got a wife
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I wish we could love
~#**************#~
And then not always have to pretend
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I know its not simple
~#**************#~
But I know that its strong
~#**************#~
And I know it will never be easy
~#**************#~
But I know it aint wrong
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I wish it could always be the way
~#**************#~
It is when youre kissing me
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
And so well go on and on
~#**************#~
Hiding out the way that we do
~#**************#~
Keeping it from all of our friends
~#**************#~
There aint a nothing between us two
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I wish we could hang about
~#**************#~
And not worry whos giving in or out
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
~#**************#~
I wish we could be alone, all alone
