Prince
Can’t Keep Living Alone
Sometimes
I wonder
How I got over
You not here by my side
To hold
Not knowing
How far I
Could fly to the hilltops
And live in a world
That seems so cold

Maybe I'll sit here
And cry my heart out
I don't know how I can
Live on my own
Maybe I'll sit here
And wonder
Why you left me
Won't you please
Come home

Sometimes
I wonder
How we got together
With nothing in common
If the truth be told
Oh
A spell
I guess
I guess I was under
While you get your way
I'm just getting
Older
And maybe I'll leave you
And find me somebody
Who loves me and not for
What they want me to be
Maybe I need you to
Leave me at the party
Don't need you
When I got me

I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
I can't keep running
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, oh
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living so lonely
I can't keep living alone
I can't keep living alone
I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
I can't keep running
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living oh so lonely
No no no no
I can't keep living alone
I can't keep living alone
Oh ooh
Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da daa
Listen

Sometimes
I wonder
If I was just dreaming
I woke up this morning
Boy, you were gone
Oh
And I saw the lightning
Saw the lightning
And I heard the thunder
Heard the thunder
It really don't matter
Who's right
Who's wrong, no, no

And maybe if I can
Finally get my nerve up
Maybe then I'll just
Call you on the phone
Maybe if I could just see you
Then I'll serve up
Some loving that'll make you
Never wanna leave me alone
I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
I can't keep running, running, running
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living so lonely
I can't
I can't keep living alone
I can't, no
I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
I just can't keep waiting
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living oh so lonely
I can't keep living alone
Oh
I can't keep living, ah

Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da daa
Sometimes
I wonder
Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da daa
How I got under
This spell
Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da daa
And even though we said
Let no man put us under
Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da daa
Some things
We don't do so well

And maybe I'll pack
All my bags
And leave the city
Maybe I'll stay
And swallow my pride
Maybe if I just believe
That I'm pretty
I'll end up with you
By my side

I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
But I can't keep running and sailing
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
Oh
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living so lonely
I can't keep living alone
Oh oh
I can't keep running
I can't keep
Running, running
Sailing for you
I can't keep sailing
I can't keep
Praying, hoping
Waiting for you
No, no
'Cause I know
I can't be
Living oh so lonely
I can't keep living
I can't keep living alone

Oh oh
I can't keep living alone
Oh oh
