Alone Again (Naturally)

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise 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 whoever
Ever wondered what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, "My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining"

May as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play (oh yeah)
But as if to knock me down (knock me down)
Reality came around (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 (naturally)

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?

Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years (looking back over the years)
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears (hide the tears)
And at sixty-five years old (five years old)
My mother, God rest her soul (rest her soul)
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
