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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robert Wells and Carola Häggkvist's song "All By Myself" depict a man desperately trying to persuade a woman to stay with him, promising to love her all by himself. He asserts that he doesn't need anyone else to love her because his love is all-encompassing. He sings to her, telling her that she knows he is in love with her and insists that they don't need anyone else to be with them, promising to have fun all by themselves.


The tone of the song is a mix of desperation and seduction, representing the man's fear of losing the woman and his desire to be the only one in her life. It's a classic case of a one-sided love affair where the man is only focused on his feelings and desires without considering the woman's perspective. The woman's reaction is not represented in the song, which only adds to the feeling of a one-sided conversation.

No i dont compare at only the highnotes
their lot of more and better singer to only hit the highest notes out there

But to deliver a song is about more than that
its about to put your soul into it and deliver the lyrics so the listner would belive every single word
Thats what a big preformans is about and make a singer to really stand out of the other

Lot of people dont get that
they only find the highest note as the most important of a singer
but how low and big reach can they go?
what kind of and how big music style of range?
what dynamic range?
how god is their phrasing skills?
and finaly would YOU believe the lyrics they deliver in the song
Not only the technique of high notes
is the only thing.
Tommy Körberg
and Carola
and allso Abba Anne-frid with Agneta
is singers who can get you to believe every sigle words they sing about
to only get an name of few Swedish singers.
Im getting real tierd of Celines highnotes songs like that is the only thing she want to sing
thats no full dynamic range of music to me
im sorry

Denna fantastiska Carola!!!! Världsklass!

@sugarrayspeed

This is the best version of them all, she´s better than Celine in this song. Just amazing. She has some strange stuff going on but when it comes to singing she is the best in Sweden without any doubt.

@123ferrai

Carola is a godess brought to earth.

@ka3kiko

The song fits her voice. Only a few can sing this beautifully with emotion and she is one of them. She interpreted this song just right. Thank heavens to youtube, I could appreciate singers worldwide.
