Now baby, I got you on my mind
Little by little I watch my love slow down
Yeah yeah, do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing, pretty baby, tomorrow you could be crying

Well, you live for the day you're goin' on your own
You got a little child here now come on and try to make it home
Oh, oh, you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing, woman, tomorrow you could be crying

Gonna tell me every dog has its day
Tell me why all the good dogs get up and run away
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing, baby, tomorrow you could be crying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing pretty thing, tomorrow you could be crying
