Max Williams - Am I Alone? Lyrics

Am I alone or just lonely
What's the difference if I don't belong
In one ear and out the other, I don't know what I'm going to discover
Tell me now what it's like to be you
Follow the rules and understand
Hold her hand; be a man
Stand up straight; don't offend
Listen close; don't talk back
I just want to be me, but that's easier said than done

Am I alone, or am I undercover
Do I want to know what it's like to be lost in my eyes
Wipe that smile off your face; I know it's not real; I know you're hiding something
If you only knew what's on my mind, you wouldn't be here anymore
Because I'm something you're not

Welcome to the party; it's an open bar
Just grab a drink that makes you feel good
We're all friends here, I mean everyone
If we've got to love each other, wouldn't that be the best thing for everyone
Tell me now what it's like to understand
Drink up boys, and don't be rude
Drink up, girls, and don't be prude
See the songs, and don't be off
Dance along, feelin' good
There's love in the air

I must be alone because there's no one listening to me
But that's all my fault because I think that people won't like what I do
Am I really loved, or am I just looked at with judgmental eyes
But please don't leave me now; I've got nobody else to talk to
Oh, nobody else to talk to
Even though you won't listen

("So then what happened next?")
