I´m alright though I´m alone
I´ve got this wish, I´ll be the one who takes you home

Last night before we met
my only comfort was a television set

In my mind it´s kind of a task:
will I have the courage to look at you when I ask?

Still there is some time
and I´ll be damned if you don´t end up as mine

Right now this is the scene
the in-crowd is here, and I am someone inbetween

I see you, and where you stand
there is a line for those who´d die to shake your hand

They´re eager, I know, ‘cause so am I
but I´m restricted by my fear to catch your eye

And I think: am I afraid?
Maybe this is the worst mistake I´ve ever made

I look up and there he stands, I don´t know what to do
His repulsive smile says: "(I want you) How are you?"

You answer: "I´m fine, but worse is I´m alone.
So I am looking for someone special to take me home"

He invites you, you accept to take his hand
things run smooth now, just exactly like he planned

There´s another hand of his around your waste
You think you´re only dancing, but you should see that look on his face

I see this, now am I about so loose?
I can´t believe that he will be the one you´ll choose

No I just can´t believe
I can´t believe
I can´t believe
No I can´t believe
I can´t believe that he will be the one you´ll choose

So I close my eyes
a hand in mine, I admit I´m surprised

I´m alright and I´m not alone
and then you say that you want me to take you home
