"Baby, if you want to be my lover You better take me home Cause it´s a long, long way to paradise And I´m still on my own"

"Baby, if you want to be my lover You better take me home Cause it´s a long, long way to paradise And I´m still on my own" On my own
Oh, baby if you want to be my lover You better take me home Cause it´s a long, long way to paradise And I´m still on my own, own
