When You're Alone

Times were tough
And 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 let 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

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

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

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

Well, I knew some day, your running'd 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

And 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

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
