Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't forget
All the times I waited patiently for you
I think you'll do (just what) you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
The lyrics to Arthur Lee & Love Band's song "Alone Again Or" convey the sentiment of acceptance and resignation towards a relationship, where the singer acknowledges that the person they are waiting for might not come back to them, and they will be alone again. The opening line of "it's all right" suggests that the singer is willing to accept the outcome of the situation, that is, being alone. The phrase "I won't forget all the times I waited patiently for you" shows that the singer has put in efforts and time to keep the relationship going, but they are prepared to accept whatever the outcome might be.
The following lines "I think you'll do (just what) you choose to do, and I will be alone again tonight, my dear" suggests that the singer knows that the other person has their own will and intentions, which they might follow regardless of how the singer feels about it. The idea of being alone again is a recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's acceptance and acknowledgment of the situation.
The latter half of the song talks about the singer's outlook on life and love. The lines "You know that I could be in love with almost everyone, I think that people are the greatest fun" suggest that the singer finds joy and entertainment in being with people, but they are not bound to fall in love with anyone. The phrase "And I will be alone again tonight, my dear" is repeated, emphasizing the theme of the song and leaving the listener with a sense of acceptance towards the reality of the situation.
