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
