When You're Alone

(альбом: Sweet As Funk Can Be - 1972)

A restless night
Finds it hard to sleep sometimes
Night after lonely night
And there's no end in sight
Sometimes you find
You miss the things you left behind
If you get all uptight
Crying won't make you right

Some folks are truly, truly blessed
Some dreams work out for the better
(Me I guess) But not for me I guess

When you're alone
The tv and the telephone
Don't have a thing to say
Day after lonely day
When you're alone
The good times have come and gone
Lonely is where you lay
Sometimes it be that way

When you're alone
The patterns are your wall
Will all become all of your memories
When you're alone
There's a voice down in the hall
Will remind you of the things you used to be

When you're alone
When you're alone
Hey, hey, when you're alone
When you're alone

When you're alone
No one hears that lonesome moan
No one knows what you want
No one cares what you need
When you're alone
You give up anything you owe
Just for some sweet company
What can the matter be?

When you're alone
The tears come falling down
A thousand lonely sounds close in on you
When you're alone
The blues come falling down
When you're alone
What will you do?
What will you do?
When you're alone
When you're alone
Oh (Trademark)
When you're alone
What will you do babe?
The patterns on the wall
Closing in on you, closing in on you
What will you do?
What will you do now?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
When you're alone
When you're alone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
When you're alone
When you're alone
When you're alone
When you're alone
What will you do? (What will you do?)
