I Think We're Alone Now

(album: Close Cover Before Playing - 1969)

[Verse 1]
"Children, behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"Watch how you play"
They don't understand

[Pre-Chorus]
And so, we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground, and then you say

[Chorus]
"I think we're alone now
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now"
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

[Verse 2]
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they knew?

[Pre-Chorus]
And so, we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground, and then you say

[Chorus]
"I think we're alone now
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now"
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

[Outro]
I think we're alone now
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
Beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone
