[Verse]
I looked out my window
And watched all the people go by
I wonder what happens
And who's taking who for a ride
(don't you know that I'm bound?)
I'm bound to pick up the pieces
And watch them land. (watch them land)
I'm standing all by myself
Ain't got nobody else
All by myself
I don't need nobody
I work out my problems
I'm starting all over again
I just started smiling
I'm making myself some new friends
(don't you know I've got?)
I've got a brand new feeling
I just can't hide. (just can't hide)
I'm standing all by myself
Ain't got nobody else, (to turn to)
All by myself
I don't need nobody
Way back in my memory
I can see where I've wasted my time
You came and took what you wanted
And then tried to take what was mine
(well, don't you know I'm tired)
I'm tired of finding myself
Up against the wall, it's so tall
I'm standing all by myself
Ain't got nobody else, (to turn to)
All by myself
I ain't got nobody

[Chorus][x2]
(I'm standing) all by myself
Ain't got nobody else, (nobody)
All by myself
I ain't got nobody
(ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
