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
