All by Myself
Bob & The Bearcats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.
