All By Myself (American Idol Studio Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 have known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

[Verse 2]
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

[Verse 3]
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

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

[Chorus]
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
