The Rifles – When I'm Alone lyrics

Everytime I catch your eye in the street light
Late at night when I walk you home
I hate to think that you're not mine
So then I try to make it feel I don't want you
I don't want to go, down that road
We always get in a big fight
It happens all the time

So when I say that I'm just your friend
Damn, then wouldn't you try
Oh no, I won't carry on pretending, it's all a lie
Cause I smile when you're there
But I cry when I'm all alone
But it's far too hard to say to you "don't go!"
Yeah I smile when you're there
But I cry when I'm all alone!
But it's far too hard to say to you "don't go!"
Don't go...

Everytime I hear your voice on the phone line
Late at night when you're feeling low
And need a shoulder to cry over
I always try to make you feel I don't need you
I don't want to go, down that road
You always get in a big fight
It happens all the time

So when I say that I'm just your friend
Damn, then wouldn't you try
Oh no, I won't carry on pretending, it's all a lie
Cause I smile when you're there
But I cry when I'm all alone
But it's far too hard to say to you "don't go!"
Yeah I smile when you're there
But I cry when I'm all alone!
But it's far too hard to say to you "don't go!"
Don't go...

Smile when you're there, but I cry when I'm all alone
But it's far too hard to say to you "don't go!"
Don't go...
