All by Myself
Solo Love Symphony: Embracing Independence in Johnny Burnette's All by Myself
Lyrics
Little girl don't you want to stay?
Invitation for the little girl to stay.
I want to be your lover man
Expressing the desire to be the girl's lover.
All by myself
Emphasizing the state of being alone.
All by myself
Reiteration of being alone.
I don't need no one to love you
Asserting independence, claiming not to need anyone else to love the girl.
I'm gonna love you all by myself
Committing to love the girl without external involvement.
You'll find, little girl, you know it too,
Suggesting that the girl realizes and acknowledges their love.
Don't you know I'm in love with you
Reiterating the declaration of being in love with the girl.
All by myself
Re-emphasizing the state of being alone in love.
All by myself.
Reiteration of being alone in love.
I don't want no one to love you
Expressing a desire to be the exclusive source of love for the girl.
I want to love you all by myself
Affirming the intention to love the girl without external interference.
Meet me in the parlor 'bout half past one,
Suggesting a specific meeting time and place.
We'll go on down and have some fun
Planning to have fun together after the meeting.
All by ourselves,
Reiterating the intention to be alone during the fun.
All by ourselves,
Reiteration of the intention to be alone during the fun.
We don't need nobody with us
Declaring self-sufficiency, asserting that nobody else is needed.
We gonna do it all by ourselves.
Reaffirming the commitment to do things independently.
