In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to whoever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Where people saying: "My God, that's tough" "She stood him up" "No point in us remaining" "We may as well go home" As I did on my own Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to who wouldn't do The role I was about to play? But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who if He really does exist Why did He desert me? In my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
I say a prayer for those who Unlike me Suffer some form of brutality I get no kicks from mugging pensioners I don't believe that that's all they're good for You know I love you And I always will I keep a picture of you on me still It's so sad You were the best love I never had
I see you've brought your children along too The little one she looks a lot like you I'm sure you must be very proud of them I'd love to have a child myself but then On second thoughts I think I'd better leave This talk of children is upsetting me It's so sad You were the best love I never had
And I can't for the life of me fathom Out why Eve when she met up with Adam Didn't know they would put at risk Every man, woman, child For the bite of an apple
Remember days of wine and daffodils A hand upon your breast oh what a thrill It's so sad You were the best love I never had
You make your bed And then you lie in it Wouldn't the truth be more appropriate It's so sad You were the best love I never had the best love I never had the best love I never had the best love I the best love I the best love I never had
In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off In an effort to make clear to whomever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch At a church where people saying My God, that's tough, she stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright, and gay Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But, as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who, if He really does exist Why did He desert me? And in my hour of need I truly am, indeed Alone again, naturally

There will be days We'll be in each others way Down each others throats Like you wouldn't believe But then who was it said Married life begins in bed And ends up somewhat disparagingly
You say to me that you love me truly I say to you likewise I feel just the same But then who really knows When two people get that close That their feelings to each other Won't change
I'll kiss you and then I'll kiss you once again And pray to God once we get married there (There)Just won't come a time When we'll wish we'll have Changed our minds A problem to end all our dreams
So there will be days We'll be in each other ways Down each others throats Just you wait and see But don't be upset After all that's what you get When you become part of The Marriage Machine Part of The Marriage Machine.
At the very mention of your name get shivers down my back and in my brain the parts that used to function normally are now as you can see acting very strange oh at the very mention of your name don't know why but if I were tied up in chains I would somehow be released all problems too would cease my heart would never feel no pain at the very mention of your name
At the very moment you arrive I stop living and I start to feel alive you have the power that's taken over me led me to believe call it what you like at the very moment you arrive I suspect that I will pinch myself to find that it really isn't true it really can't be you walking up the garden drive at the very moment you arrive
And although it's been said well over a thousand times here's a thousand more will you still be mine forever and evermore
At the very mention of your name what am I to do and who am I to blame the effect upon my life can only be described a bit like being hit by a train at the very mention of your name
Miss my love today As I miss the stars that shine above Telling me one day my love Will come to me again
Miss my love I'd say Is the only thing that I can do I just can't live with someone new Reminding me of her
She said before she left That she would return to me Although it may take quite a While I know That she'll come back And once again the time To fall in love will still be mine Till then I'll wait in morbid company
Miss my love I do Just as one would miss both day And night Waiting here alone is not right But what else can I do?
The day you came my way I was such a fool to say All the things I said about you just to make you jealous But I've learnt my lesson then Now I'm prepared to start again If I promise to be true Can I go with you Whenever you're around All the boys I know are found Trying to be the one to hold you by the hand But I feel if it's O.K. Only one thing I can say If I promise to be true Can I go with you Can I take you by the hand Can I love you Please tell me Please tell me Can I go with you If you think I'm a fool Let me tell you there's no rule That can stop me wanting you And I do, so help me I won't feel like having fun Till you say that I'm the one So if I promise to be true Can I go with you If I promise to be true Can I go with you
I can see by that look on your face You despise all the tears You've had to embrace And I can tell by that look in your eye There's no telling why There's no telling why
Oh, I really love you I do so desperately And I'll never be above you You're all there is to me Running off With another man's wife But when love takes control Of your soul There's no telling why
I can't help feeling sorry for us both We are victims of a crime We otherwise loathe And for as long as we live Till we die There's no telling why There's no telling why
Oh, pretty baby You've got me on a limb And you know you drive me crazy For you I'd do most anything Having stolen you from someone Who loves you no less than I It's amazing how love takes control And there's no telling why
There's never been a time like this before Cos when I'm not with you like is such a bore Now if I feel lonely or I fool blue I'll know it's because of you.
You always tell me things that I want to know Yet when you went away you never told me 50 Now if ever there's a time I have nothing to do I'll know it's because of you
I'll never see you again And I know I'll regret it somehow Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now
I'll never see you again And I know I'll regret it somehow Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now
There's never been a time like this before Cos when I'm not with you life is such a bore Now if I feel lonely or I feel blue I'll know it's because of you.
