Somebody somewhere turns out the light Somebody all alone faces the night You got to be strong when you're out on your own 'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone Nobody nowhere holds the key to your heart When love's a possession it'll tear you apart You may have lovers wherever you roam But sooner or later we all sleep alone Oh, the young and the young at heart wait But the wait never ends in the soul When you feel like it's all blown away Independence has come and into the night I go Don't make no promises I can't keep I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs You know I have lovers wherever you roam But sooner or later, oo, we all sleep alone We all sleep alone, yeah, yeah We all sleep alone, we all sleep alone
