I wish we could be alone
So all of the world couldn't see
How much we have together
And how much you mean to me

I wish we could put out the flame
But oh, sweet baby, tell me would it be right?
I take the subway and you take the train
I got a husband and you got a wife
I wish we could love and then not always have to pretend
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone

I know it's not simple, but I know that it's strong
And I know it will never be easy, but I know it ain't wrong
I wish it could always be the way it is when you're kissin' me
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone

And so we'll go on and on, hidin' out the way that we do
Keepin' it from all of our friends, there ain't a-nothin' between us two
I wish we could hang about, and not worry who's givin' in or out
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
