Lyrics:
Sinatra {boy} [girl, girls] (both)
{Well, you have someone advise you, that is when you buy a precious stone,}

{But when it comes to love, you're on your own.}

{If you must have some information,}

{You can dial your telephone,}

{But when it comes to love, you're on your own.} [who asked you?]

{If your songbird flies without you,}

{You can climb another tree,}

[Know I'm simply mad about you, you're arsenic to me.]

{There are red lights `round to warn you}

{When you're in a danger zone,}

{But when it comes to love, you're on your own.}

Sinatra: That romantic moon will help me,

And the stars that shine above.

[But if that old moon won't help you,]

Then I'll help myself to love,

{I'm a polymentric figure, I'm as stable as a straw,}

[But when it comes to love, you're on your own.]

{We could fly away together,} (and explore the great unknown,)

(Just you and I together on our own.)

[Really mean we'd talk to flounder, yes we got him on the hook]

[We can only land the bounder, long enough to take him off his book]

{With your beauty and my brainwork, we could make a lovely match,}

[Yes, but when it comes to love, we start from scratch.]

{I'm leaving now.}

Sinatra: Can't we fly away together and explore for the great unknown,

(Just you and I together on our own,)

{Well come on let's have connection, hurry up and don't delay,

[I'm glad you popped the question,] {break it up, scram, go away,}

{Come on, get inside}

(If a lot of busybodies mind their business on their own)

(They are, you see, they want to be alone.)

{'Cause it comes to love, you're on your own.}
Sinatra: Emelyn, are you sure you know what you're doing?

If the one you've always longed for

Seems to have a heart of stone,

Remember when it's love you're on your own.
