Alone Again (naturally) Lyrics - Alone Again Naturally - Esther Phillips

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 

What it's like when you're shattered 

Left standing in the lurch at a church 

Where people saying: "My God, that's tough" 

"She stood him up" 

"No point in us remaining" 

"We 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? 

But as if to knock me down 

Reality 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 

Who if He really does exist 

Why did He desert me? 

In my hour of need 

I truly am indeed 

Alone again, 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
