You ask me what's it like now    I've got no woman - don't ask    You ask me how's it feel to be alone    You've got no one - don't ask    I'll tell you what's the story    Who's the judge and who's the jury - the past    Don't ask me what it's like to be alone at night    I hear a tapping on the wall    (I hear you knocking but ya)    I calm myself by leaving on the bathroom light    I know there's no one out there    But that don't really help at all    So tell me what's it like now    You got nobody - don't ask    Who looks after your health    I do it myself    How do you survive    I'm staying alive    Who looks after your home    I do it on my own    And how do you sleep    I sleep alone    Nobody told me that I had to live this way    Yea I could really have a ball    (you keep a knocking but ya)    But if I can't have you I'd rather stay this way    And live in hope that maybe    One day you'll take the time to call    So tell me what's it like now    You've got no woman - don't ask    Who looks after your health    I do it myself    How do you survive    I'm staying alive    Who looks after your home    I do it on my own    And how do you sleep    I sleep alone    I'll tell you what it's like now    I got no woman - don't ask
