[Intro]
Tryna do this hard jam they wrote, ha ha
Right, right (One, two)
[Verse 1]
Suddenly, without a warning, my heart skipped a beat
As if for a breathless moment
All the world stood still
Suddenly, my lips could find no words to speak
Emptiness was all that my arms could feel
[Chorus]
'Cause just like child (Like a child)
With a toy enchanted, I took one (I took one)
Far too much for granted
Suddenly (Suddenly), I was all alone
[Bridge]
Never, never forget to feel the flame of love
Else that burning fire just flickers and dies
I was a fool who played a game of love
Suddenly I lost my prize possession
[Verse 2]
Maybe by some chance, I'll hear down the hall
The footsteps of my love returning to my side
Maybe fate has pity for fools after all
And gives them a second to turn the tide
[Outro]
Oh, well, be true (Be true)
I will cling to love and vow to be (Vow to be)
Always thinking of how suddenly (Suddenly)
I was all alone
Suddenly I Was Alone was written by Henry Cosby & Sylvia Moy & William “Mickey” Stevenson.
Suddenly I Was Alone was produced by Smokey Robinson.
