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
