You Have To Learn To Live Alone Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

We sleep together, close and warm 

We calm each other through the storm 

We set up home, but in a while 

We're tempted by another's smile 

When it's all played out 

If the truth were known 

You have to learn to live alone 

We dance around the fading light 

You hold me closer every night 

You fell in love but I did not 

But in the end you're all I've got 

When it's all played out 

When the truth is known 

You have to learn to live alone 

We fly around the world too fast 

We cannot make one moment last 

We love the crowd, we sing and play 

We do it all, we get our way 

When it's all played out 

When the bird has flown 

You have to learn to live alone 

When we're all played out 

If the truth were known 

You have to learn to live alone
