Somebody, somewhere, turns off the lights

Somebody all alone faces the night

You’ve 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, ooh, we all sleep alone



Oh, the young and the young at heart wait

But the wait never ends in the soul

When you feel love is all gone away

Independence has come

And into the night I go



Don’t make no promises that I can’t keep

I won’t be no prisoner of somebody’s needs

You may have lovers wherever you roam

But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone

Ooh, we all sleep alone



Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah

And I know, And I know how you feel

Like I’ve taken what you’re saying to me

Cause we all sleep alone

Yes, we all sleep alone
