When You're Alone

[Verse 1] Times were, though love was not enough So you said, "Sorry, Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone" You said my act was funny But we both knew what was missing, honey So you lit out on your own Now that pretty form that you've got, baby Will make sure you get along But you're gonna find out some day, honey [Chorus] When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you ain't nothing but alone [Verse 2] Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city And I fought to make 'em my home With just the shirt on my back, I left and swore I'd never look back And, man, I was gone, gone, gone But there's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming And send you crawling like a baby back home You're gonna find out that day, sugar [Chorus] When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you ain't nothing but alone [Verse 3] I knew some day your runnin' would be through And you'd think back on me and you And your love would be strong You'd forget all about the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had And you'd want to come home Now it ain't hard feelings or nothing, sugar That ain't what's got me singing this song It's just nobody knows, honey, where love goes But when it goes it's gone gone [Chorus] When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you're alone When you're alone, you ain't nothing but alone
