Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Alone Again Naturally Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, in a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised 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 who-ever
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

[Verse 2]
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
Oh, if He really does exist
Why did He desert me

In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

[Bridge]
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?

[Classical Guitar Break]
