Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm
Oh, no, no, mhmm
[Verse 2]
We were together just the other day
Taking life for granted, passing time away
I was there for you, you were there for me
We would be together for eternity
[Verse 3]
I never knew there'd be sorrow
But I knew we'd be together tomorrow
Together forever, we were so wrong
Now I just can't believe that you're gone
[Verse 4]
And I'm so alone, alone
You never miss a good friend till it's gone
And I'm so alone, I'm so alone, yes, I am
I really can't believe that you're gone, gone, gone
[Verse 5]
Life goes on and it's not the same
'Cause I can't help sometimes calling out your name
(Calling out your name)
But then I realize that you won't come around, no
Oh, what I wouldn't give to see your smile
[Verse 6]
Oh, yes, we've had our ups and downs
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you cussin' me out
I know it sounds funny, but what can I say?
My life just ain't the same since you went away
[Verse 7]
And I'm so alone, oh (Alone, I miss you)
You never miss a good friend till they're gone (Gone)
I'm so alone
Did you have to go away? (I really miss you), I really miss you
(So alone, I'm so alone)
Girl, I'm so alone
[Verse 8]
Oh, yes, I am
I'm so alone
So alone
[Verse 9]
See, I never knew that there'd be sorrow
But I knew we'd be together tomorrow
Together forever, we were so wrong
Now I won't believe, I just can't believe
I really don't believe
[Verse 10]
(I'm so alone, alone, I miss you)
(You never miss a good friend) It's gonna be alright
(I'm so alone) It's gonna be alright (Alone, I miss you)
I know one day (You never miss a good friend)
We'll see each other again
[Verse 11]
(I'm so alone) I miss you, mama (Alone, I miss you)
Can't nobody take your place
(You never miss a good friend)
There'll never be another like you
[Verse 12]
(I'm so alone, alone, I miss you) You're my one and only, mama
(You never miss a good friend) And I miss you
And I miss you (I'm so alone)
I'm so alone, I'm (I miss you so much)
I know you're in a better place, yes, you are
(So lonely without you)
Can my friends help me sing? (Here I am, I really miss you)
Can my friends help me sing? (Here I am)
[Verse 13]
See, when you need a shoulder to cry on
When you need a good friend to rely on
She's gonna be right there (I miss you so much), yeah
(So lonely without you)
When you're feeling down and feeling low (I really miss you)
All you gotta do is come and talk to little Joe, oh, oh yeah
This is Jason, you know I'm your best friend
And I love ya and I love ya
And I love you, yeah (I miss you so much, so lonely without you)
(I really miss you)
See, everyone's loved and lost
And nobody wants to pay that cost
But if we'll all stick here together, we can make everything so much better
(I miss you so much) I appreciate having a friend like all of you around
(So lonely without you)
