Verse 1

I hear the ticking of the clock

 I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight

 No answer on the telephone

Refrain

And the night goes by so very slow

Oh I hope that it won't end though

Alone...

Chorus

Till now I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone

Verse 2

You don't know how long I have wanted

to touch your lips and hold you tight,oh

You don't know how long I have waited

and I was going to tell you tonight

Refrain

 But the secret is still my own

 and my love for you is still unknown

Alone....

Chorus 2

Till now I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
