Oh, you look good tonight,
Standing there in your own world.
Baby, talk to me with your eyes
Before the moment dies.
I want to say to you,
Time is just passing us by.
You keep waiting for something called love.
Wake up in the middle of the night.
Nobody's gonna make it alright.

Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be with you tonight? Oh, oh.
Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be holding you tight? Oh, oh.
Oh yeah.

Open yourself to me,
Let me show you what it can be like.
Baby, giving it all that you've got.
Nothing can hold you back.
Some things can stand alone.
A mountain can feel no desire,
But a heart isn't made out of stone.
Wake up in the middle of the night.
Nobody's gonna make it alright.

Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be with you tonight, oh, oh
Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be holding you tight, oh, oh
Who wants to be lonely, ooh
Who wants to be lonely, all by yourself
Who wants to be lonely, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wake up in the middle of the night
Nobody's gonna make it alright

I want to say to you
Time is just passing us by
You keep waiting for something called love

Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be with you tonight? Oh, oh.
Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be holding you tight? Oh, oh.
(Oh yeah) Who wants to be lonely?

(Yeah.) Who wants to be with you tonight? Oh, oh, (tell me tonight.)
(Yeah.) Who wants to be lonely? (Oh yeah.)
Who wants to be holding you tight? Oh, oh, (tell me tonight.)
(Tell me tonight) Who wants to be lonely? (Yeah)
Who wants to be with you tonight? Oh, oh. (Tell me tonight, tell me)
Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be holding you tight? Oh, oh.
Who wants to be lonely? Who wants to be with you tonight?

    Ah! Love this song! ! ! The video is awesome too Paul is lookin' pretty hot in it! But this song (along with most KISS songs) is pretty self explanitory and maybe even a little about sex lol (againg along with most KISS songs)

    It's about a guy and a girl that have a very hot physical relationship but she cannot seem to give her heart to him. He's asking her to give all or herself to him.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
