Fats Domino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, Little girl, don't you want to stay?
I want to be your lover man
All by myself
All by myself

I don't need no one to love you, I'm gonna love you all by myself

You'll find, little girl, you know it too
Don't you know I'm in love with you
All by myself
All by myself

I don't want no one to love you, I want to love you all by myself

Meet me in the parlor 'bout half past one
We'll go on down and have some fun
All by ourselves
All by ourselves
We don't need nobody with us, we gonna do it all by ourselves

Meet me in the parlor 'bout half past one
We'll go on down and have some fun
All by ourselves
All by ourselves
We don't need nobody with us, we gonna do it all by ourselves

Hey, Little girl, don't you want to stay?
I want to be your lover man
All by myself
All by myself

We don't need no one to love you, we gon' love you all by myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fats Domino's song "All By Myself" tell the story of a man asking a woman to be his lover and assuring her that he doesn't need anyone else to love her. The repetition of "all by myself" emphasizes his desire to have her all to himself, without any interference or distractions from anyone else. He urges her to meet him in the parlor where they can have some fun alone, without anyone else present.


The tone of the song is playful and flirtatious, and the upbeat rhythm and melody add to its lightheartedness. However, the lyrics also reveal a sense of possessiveness and jealousy, as the man insists that he doesn't want anyone else to love her but him. It implies a lack of trust and insecurity within the relationship.


Overall, the lyrics of "All By Yourself" display a mix of desire, possessiveness, and an insistence on independence in love. The song's catchy tune and playful nature helped make it a hit for Fats Domino in the 1950s.
