Sleepin' Alone

This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it appears on.



For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough

If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough

And all the tea in china won't make a house a home

You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone



There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside

Or someone you can call around if you've lost all your pride

Please don't be mistaken. i don't mean to put that down

I know there's times when anything is better than sleepin' alone



Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend

Sleepin' alone can make you swear to god this night will never end



You know it's not company you are lookin' for

You know it's not just pleasure, you know it's somethin' more

You know it's not the answer if it's not like comin' home

If the one who's there doesn't really care, it's worse than sleepin' alone



Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend

Sleepin' alone can make you swear to god this night will never end



For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough

If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough

And all the gold that glitters won't make a house a home

You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone

You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone
