All By Myself

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

All by myself, don't wanna be
All by myself, anymore
All by myself, don't wanna live
All by myself, anymore

All by myself, don't wanna be
All by myself, anymore
All by myself, don't wanna live
All by myself, anymore
All by myself, don't wanna be
All by...

The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1900–1901 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song "Let's Pretend", which Carmen wrote and recorded with his band the Raspberries in 1972.^[5] The slide guitar solo was performed by studio guitarist Hugh McCracken.^[6]
