[Verse 1: Peter Maffay, Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay]
So many lonely days
I gave myself away
But I couldn't get back what I needed and I didn't stay
You got me standing by
No more the fool am I
Girl, your being 'round me helps along the way

[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay]
'Cause I'm not a man who wants to be alone
All my life, I've drifted through the days on my own
This whole way I have been lookin' for a home
Because I'm not a man who wants to be alone

[Verse 2: Peter Maffay, Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay]
In every shady room
You're havin' flowers bloom
They show that your feelings for me still are strong and true
When I am thinkin' blue
It happens you do too
Sadness fades away with any word of you

[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay]
'Cause I'm not a man who wants to be alone
All my lifе, I've drifted through the days on my own
This wholе way I have been lookin' for a home
Because I'm not a man who wants to be alone
[Verse 3: Peter Maffay, Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay]
Down by the ocean shore
Recalling past times once more
Waves are rolling friendly, like they never were rough before
Wind blew the cloudy skies
Which darkened our eyes
Now we sail upon the water that never dries

[Chorus: Johnny Tame & Peter Maffay, Johnny Tame]
'Cause I'm not a man who wants to be alone
All my life, I've drifted through the days on my own
This whole way I have been lookin' for a home
Because I'm not a man who wants to be alone
'Cause I'm not a man who wants to be alone
(Dancing they want us, you can be alone, yeah)
All my life, I've drifted through the days on my own
(In the game you're misunderstood, you can be alone, na na na)
This whole way I have been lookin' for a home
(In a [?] you make me feel, nah)
Because I'm not a man who wants to be alone
'Cause I'm not a man who wants to be alone
All my life, I've drifted through the days on my own
This whole way I have been lookin' for a home
Because I'm not a man who wants—
