[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 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
