Answer
Dear Tek,

It's a 70's song actually. The artist was singer-songwriter-actress KATHE GREEN and the title of the song is ALONE AGAIN AND FREE from her self-titled album released 1976. KATHE GREEN provided the singing voice of a young MARK LESTER in the 1968 musical movie OLIVER! The plot of a ghost singer was kept a secret for a long time until it was revealed in 2004 or 36 years after the movie was released. Here's its lyrics:

ALONE AGAIN AND FREE / KATHE GREEN

Here I am
Alone again and free
Yet everyone in town wants to go out with me
But there is no one there
That i would like to see
I'm home again and free.

Here I am
alone again and free
Waiting for a special man to call on me
And there's nowhere else
that I would rather be
Except home again and free.

Refrain:
I've been a restless girl
I've lived past half my life
On the road trying to be free
Makin' sure that no one ever needed me
Or is it that I didn't want to meet anyone at all?

So here I am again
Where I said I'd never be
Waiting for the man I love to call on me
And how strange I feel
Now the joke's on me
'Cause I'm here again
Alone again
And I guess I'm not so very free.

Maraming salamat po!!
