Lyrics

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making 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 telephone
Nobody’s home

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna be
Anymore

Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone
Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone

Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone
Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone

Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone (don’t wanna be alone)
Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna be
Alone
