When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' 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
All by myself, don't wanna live,
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

- interlude -

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
All by myself, don't wanna live,
All by myself anymore, anymore

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to, do you know

Do you get what you're hoping for
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for, do you know

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to, do you know

Now looking back at all we've had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to, do you know

Do you get what you're hoping for
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for, do you know

You were here, you were there,
you were everywhere in my life
for what seemed like eternity

But the days ran away
and the flame died down
and the love became just a memory

There were times, many times
when I hoped
the world would go away
and leave us together

But time ran out
and we knew it all the doubt
And our love could not go on forever

How did we fall in love
Why did it happen me this way
(Where)Where do we go from here
How can I live to face another day
without you

How did we fall in love
Why did it happen me this way
(Where)Where do we go from here
How can I live to face another day
(to face another day)
without you

When I think of the moments we shared
and just how much we cared
it was all like a dream

But the dream is no more
and we've closed the door
on a love that never should have been

How can you, how can I, how can we
face the future
But life can never be the same

I can't last by the one
without your smile
Now I'm left with misery and pain

How did we fall in love
Why did it happen me this way
(Where)Where do we go from here
How can I live to face another day
without you

How did we fall in love
Why did it happen me this way
(Where)Where do we go ...

Penny Lane
There is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
On the corner is a banker with a motor car
The little children laugh at hime behind his back
and the banker never wears a MAC
in the pouring rain, very strangePenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile
Back in penny lane there is a fireman
with an hour glass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machinePenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Full of fish and finger pies in summer
Meanwhile Back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a round about
The pretty nurses selling poppies from a tray
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play,
She is anywayPenny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trend
And then the fireman rushes in
from the pouring rain
Very strangePenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

Desmond has a barrow in the market place,
Molly is the singer in a band.
Desmond says to Molly "girl I like your face",
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store,
Buys a twenty carat golden ring.
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door,
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.In a couple of years they have a built a home, sweet home.
With a couple of kids running in the yard, of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place,
Desmond lets the children lend a hand.
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face,
And in the evening she still sings it with the band.Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.In a couple of years they have a built a home, sweet home.
With a couple of kids running in the yard, of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place,
Molly lets the children lend a hand.
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face,
And in the evening she still sings it with the band.Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.If you want some fun, take obladi-blada.
