A man he approached me & he offered me a drink
He said ‘Your eyes is so blue; you look nice in pink’
Well, well ‘Thank you mister well that’s really kind of you
But I’m feeling little hungry could you buy me dinner too?’
He said he’d love to; he said his name was Jake
and he drove me in his car to a very fancy place
and I’m looking at the crystal and the silver in my hand
and I’m looking at my fingernails they’re filled with dirt and sand
But I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone.
He asked if he could take me home and I just said yes
Next time we go out he says he’s buying me a dress
Well he can butter me up, spend his money on me
It don’t make no difference, I’m still gonna leave
And I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone.
You think that we’re making love, and I think it’s a sham.
I don’t call this love I call it being with a man.
And I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone.
Well my mama bought me dresses and she taught me how to smile
Said I’ll never get a man, looking blue and out of style
Cause a man he gives you love, and love is everything
I should have covered my ears, I ain’t sure she knew a thing
But I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone
I used to try to catch men’s eye, but now I can’t remember why
A man is just a speck of dust, swallowed by the sky.
And I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone.
Well the anchor was cut that held my feet to the ground
My life was thrown up in the wind, it’s blowing all around
A man he approached me and he offered me a home
Said I’ll need a place to land when my bones is growing old
But I’ll never be alone. No, I’ll never be alone
