Eric Carmen -- All By Myself (Long Version)

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

"Love Machine" was one of two singles recorded by the group with Billy Griffin as lead vocalist, that hit the Billboard "Hot 100," top 40. The other is 1973's "Do It Baby." Griffin had replaced Miracles founder, Smokey Robinson, as lead singer in 1972 when Robinson left to pursue a solo
career. The song's lyrics, delivered over a disco beat, compare a lover to an electronic device such as a computer or a robot. "Love Machine" was a multi-million selling platinum single (certified by the RIAA), a #1 hit on the U.S. pop charts, and was one of the best-selling singles of The Miracles
(with Billy Griffin). The single went to #5 on the "Hot Soul Singles" chart, and #20 on Record World's "National Disco Top 20" chart. It was also a top 10 hit in England, peaking at #3 on the UK singles chart.

The MIRACLES - Love Machine/Do It Baby

With Billy Griffin this line-up sounded great and the pink suits were so camp! Love both songs, they should have had more hits.

Wham! and their cover of Love Machine.. He is the most beautiful man in pop music. He will always be my love machine.
