Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
[Verse 2]
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
[Verse 3]
Hard to be sure
Sometimes, I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
[Verse 4]
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
[Outro]
All by myself
