Times were tough 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 let 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 someday honey



(Chorus)

When you're alone you're alone

When you're alone you're alone

When you're alone you're alone

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



(Chorus)



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 the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had

And you'd wanna come home

Now it ain't hard feelings or nothin' sugar

That ain't what's got me singing this song

It's just nobody knows baby where love goes

But when it goes it's gone gone



(Chorus)
