When I was young I never needed an - y - one
And makin' love was just for fun --
Those days are gone.
Livin' alone, I think of all the friends I've known;
But when I dial the tel - e - phone,
No - bod - y's home.
All by my - self don't wan - na be
All by my - self an - y - more;
All by my - self don't wan - na live
All by my - self an - y - more.
Hard to be sure; some times I feel so in - se - cure,
And love, so distant and obscure,
Remains the cure.
