Times were, though love was not enough
So you said, "Sorry, Johnny, I´m gone, gone, gone"
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing, honey

So you lit out on your own
Now that pretty form that you´ve got, baby
Will make sure you get along
But you´re gonna find out some day, honey

When you´re alone, you´re alone [x3]
When you´re alone, you ain´t nothing but alone

Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city
And I fought to make ´em my home
With just the shirt on my back, I left and swore I´d never look back
And, man, I was gone, gone, gone
But there´s things that´ll knock you down you don´t even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
You´re gonna find out that day, sugar

I knew some day your runnin´ would be through
And you´d think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
You´d forget all about the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had
And you´d want to come home
Now it ain´t hard feelings or nothing, sugar
That ain´t what´s got me singing this song
It´s just nobody knows, honey, where love goes
But when it goes it´s gone gone
