Sittin' Here
Ten Years Later Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Sittin' All Alone Baby Holdin' Up My Head
I'm Thinkin' And A Wishin' Baby While Your Asleep In Bed
I Wish That I Could Be With You, Baby You Could Be With Me
Rockin' Through The Night - Oh, You're Out Of Sight
Said I Could Be Beside You, Show You How To Rock 'N Roll

I'm Sittin' All Alone Wishin' You Was By My Side
I Know That We Could Be Together And That'll Feel Right
I Wish That You Could Be With Me, Or That I Could Be With You
Rockin' Through The Night - Oh, You're Out Of Sight
Said I Could Be Beside You, Show You How To Rock 'N Roll

I'm Sittin' Here Alone Baby Holdin' Up My Head
I'm Just Thinkin' And A Wishin' Baby While Your Asleep In Bed
I Wish That I Could Be With You, Or Baby You Could Be With Me




Rockin' Through The Night - Oh, You're Out Of Sight
Said I Could Be Beside You, Show You How To Rock 'N Roll
