Alone Again (Naturally)

[Verse 1]
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people saying
"My God that's tough, she stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"May as well go home"
As I did on my own

[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally

[Verse 2]
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play (Oh yeah)
But as if to knock me down (Knock me down)
Reality came around (Came around)
And without so much as a mеre touch
Cut me into little piеces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed

[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

[Bridge]
It seems to me, that there are more hearts broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?

[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

[Verse 3]
Looking back over the years (Looking back over the years)
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears (Hide the tears)
And at sixty-five years old (Five years old)
My mother, God rest her soul (Rest her soul)
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day

[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
