There was a song from the early '80's I used to hear on alternative
radio. The chorus went something like..." I'm all laone whenever we're
together/When we're alone it's worse than being by myself". Who was
the artist and what was the name of the song?

Dear musicsoothes,

The song is "Worse Than Being By Myself", by the alternative rock band
Dramarama. This song was included on their 1986 LP "Box Office Bomb".

Since 1986, that LP has twice been reissued on CD, by Rhino Records
and the Chameleon Record Group label; both reissues are available from
third party dealers at Amazon Marketplace, in various conditions, at
prices starting at $14.99:
