All By Myself

Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

Living alone

I think of all the friends I've known

But when I dial the telephone

Nobody's home

All by myself, I don't want to be

All by myself anymore

All by myself, I don't want to live

All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure

Sometimes I feel so insecure

And love's so distant and obscure

Remains the cure

All by myself, I don't want to be

All by myself anymore

All by myself, I don't want to live

All by myself anymore

All by myself, I don't want to be

All by myself anymore

All by myself, I don't want to live

All by myself anymore
