We can lock away the bad memories together,
Close the doors to the past forever.
Watching you touch,
We're past this much.

I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight

I can't always remember what I say,
I can't always take it having to pay
Watching you walk,
You know you're really attractive.

I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight

I know it's hard when you have tried,
When the conversations terror, you have tied.
Making out you still don't know,
All I have is alcohol so let me go,

I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight

I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you

I'm alone with you tonight 
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
