When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love's so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

I don't have no one, but me myself and I, listen, I gotta get some work done man, I ain't come in the studio just to chill, na na, this nigga swizz just flew out, this nigga ne yo sleep, so I'm a go over to this mp and see if I can come up with my own track to keep it movin' yea let me try that, aight, find these drums, yea this knockin, yea that's crazy right there, yea, I'm feelin that, ok, let me add these high hats, ok, I think I'm gettin the hang out of this joint man, aight, I'm a make this beat myself man, now let me add this scratch, ok and the crash, breakdown, add this 808 drum and get it knockin a lil bit more, that's crazy, I'm feeling this track right here man, all I gotta do is spit somethin crazy, it's a wrap...

[verse 1:]
I'm in the zone all by myself,
I'm alone all by myself I'm on my own,
But homes I could set the tone myself,
And make the track that I could rap on myself
I wrote the rap myself, did the track myself, went in the booth produced that myself, I did the bass did the claps myself, did the drums snares and the high hats myself, uh I play each sound I'm banging out beats now, the only one with heat now holdin the streets down, I paint pictures everybody could see but besides god I ain't got nobody but me...

[hook: x2]
I'm in the zone all by myself
I'm alone all by myself,
But I don't need nobody else, but me... and god...

[verse 2:]
I wanna thank my fans, good lookin for the mail,
Cause I was goin through it when they put me in the jail, they put me in the cell, just me and the rats, and my relationship with god is what kept me relaxed, DA will say anything except for the facts, and they had alot of evidence except for the gats,
Before they prove you guilty they will treat you like a criminal, they tried to give me first degree they said it was intentional, I had to get shit together on my own, the media was talkin like I'm never comin home, me and my mother used to talk together on the phone, she said keep your faith and you will beat this case, yup

[hook x2]

[verse 3:]
I gotta clique that'll grip steel for me,
I gotta squad that'll ride that'll kill for me,
But I argue and fight with my own mother, and now a days you can't even trust your own brother,
So make sure you keep your enemies the closest to you, cause your friends will the ones who put the toasters to you, that's why u gotta watch your surroundins, cause niggas that can swim love watchin you drownin, so only real niggas chill with me, but ain't nobody gonna pay my bills but me, see, you might got a crew that can help, but if you want it done right u gotta do it yourself

By Vini Poncia and Richard Starkey

I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
AND WATCHED ALL THE PEOPLE GO BY.
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENS
AND WHO'S TAKING WHO FOR A RIDE.

(Don't you know that I'm bound?)
I'M BOUND TO PICK UP THE PIECES AND WATCH THEM LAND. (watch them land)
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE,
ALL BY MYSELF,
I DON'T NEED NOBODY.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I WORK OUT MY PROBLEMS,
I'M STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.
I JUST STARTED SMILING,
I'M MAKING MYSELF SOME NEW FRIENDS.

(Don't you know I've got?)
I'VE GOT A BRAND NEW FEELING I JUST CAN'T HIDE. (just can't hide)
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (to turn to)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I DON'T NEED NOBODY.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh -, ooh -, ooh -)

WAY BACK IN MY MEM'RY,
I CAN SEE WHERE I'VE WASTED MY TIME.
YOU CAME AND TOOK WHAT YOU WANTED
AND THEN TRIED TO TAKE WHAT WAS MINE.

(Well, don't you know I'm tired)
I'M TIRED OF FINDING MYSELF UP AGAINST THE WALL, IT'S SO TALL.
I'M STANDING ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (to turn to)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I AIN'T GOT NOBODY.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(I'm standing) ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (nobody)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I AIN'T GOT NOBODY.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(I'm standing) ALL BY MYSELF,
AIN'T GOT NOBODY ELSE, (to talk to)
ALL BY MYSELF,
I DON'T NEED NOBODY.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(I'm standing) ALL BY MYSELF.

I was alone,I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself...
All by myself...
All by myself...

I went to your house,but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself,
All by myself
[repeat several times]

I know my street , that's where I live
I never take , I always give
They always leave me on the shelf
I live my life all by myself

My car ain't big , I can't go fast
And ev'ry drink I take's the last
I'm always tryin' to save my health
I live my life all by myself

Ev'rything I have I own and no one lives on me
I'm a man who stands alone
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be

So take your hand down off my chair
'cause I'm the one who's sitting there
And I ain't neve seen no wealth
I live my live all by myself

My car ain't big , I can't go fast
And ev'ry drink I take's the last
I'm always tryin' to save my health
I live my life all by myself

Ev'rything I have I own and no one lives on me
I'm a man who stands alone
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be

So take your hand down off my chair
'cause I'm the one who's sitting there
And I ain't never seen no wealth
I live my live all by myself

I live my life all by myself

When I was young, I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Living alone, I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself, I don't want to be
All by myself...anymore
All by myself, I don't want to live
All by myself...anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love's so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself, I don't want to be
All by myself... anymore
All by myself, I don't want to live
All by myself anymore

All by myself, I don't want to be
All by myself...anymore
All by myself, I don't want to live
All by myself.....Anymore......

Cuando era joven, no necesitaba nunca nadie
Y hacer el amor era sólo por diversión
Esos días se han ido

Viven solos, creo que de todos los amigos que he conocido
Pero cuando el teléfono
Casa de nadie

Todo por mí, no quiero ser
Todo por mí... ya
Todo por mí, yo no quiero vivir
Todo por mí... ya

Disco duro para asegurarse de que
A veces me siento tan inseguro
Y amor tan distantes y oscuro
Sigue siendo la cura

Todo por mí, no quiero ser
Todo por mí... ya
Todo por mí, yo no quiero vivir
Todo por mí ya

Todo por mí, no quiero ser
Todo por mí... ya
Todo por mí, yo no quiero vivir
Todo por mí..... Anymore......
