How You Gonna See Me Now

(album: From The Inside - 1978)

[Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner]

Dear darling surprised to hear from me?
Bet you're sitting drinking coffee, yawning sleepily
Just to let you know
I'm gonna be home soon
I'm kinda awkward and afraid
Time has changed your point of view

[Chorus:]
How you gonna see me now
Please don't see me ugly babe
'Cause I know I let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we've been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home

Listen darling now I'm heading for the west
Straightened out my head but my old heart is still a mess
Yes I'm worried honey
Guess that's natural though
It's like I'm waiting for a welcome sign
Like a hobo in the snow

[Chorus]

And just like the first time
We're just strangers again
I might have grown out of style
In the place I've been
And just like the first time
I'll be shaking inside
When I walk in the door
There'll be no place to hide

[Chorus]
