All by Myself
Embracing Solitude: A Tale of Self-Reliance and Love
Lyrics
Little girl don't you want to stay?
Invitation for the listener to stay
I want to be your lover man
Expressing a desire to be the listener's lover
All by myself
Expressing a state of being alone
All by myself
Reiteration of being alone
I don't need no one to love you
Asserting independence, not needing anyone else to love the listener
I'm gonna love you all by myself
Commitment to love the listener without external involvement
You'll find, little girl, you know it too,
Assurance that the listener will realize the singer's love
Don't you know I'm in love with you
Affirmation of being in love with the listener
All by myself
Reiteration of being alone
All by myself.
Reaffirmation of being alone
I don't want no one to love you
Expressing a desire to be the exclusive source of the listener's love
I want to love you all by myself
Expressing a strong desire to love the listener without external interference
Meet me in the parlor 'bout half past one,
Suggesting a specific time and place to meet
We'll go on down and have some fun
Proposing to have fun together
All by ourselves,
Reiteration of being alone
All by ourselves,
Reaffirmation of being alone
We don't need nobody with us
Declaring independence, stating that they don't need anybody else
We gonna do it all by ourselves.
Emphasizing the intention to handle everything independently
