All By Myself Lyrics

Cover art for All By Myself lyrics by Eric Carmen

I think this song resonates with us as human beings and our emotions. When youre young you really dont need anyone. You have school, your friends, dreams. But when we really get out into the real world, we face more difficulties and are no longer that carefree youth anymore.

"Making love was just for fun" is saying that while even though making love was just for fun, you finally at some point in your life realize that you would rather have more commitment and meaningful relationships in your life.

"nobodys home" is just one of those times we all experience when we want to reach out and talk and no one is available. Its a feeling that everyone is "having fun" and you are alone.
