Alone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hurry up and find the one
Who makes you feel like you've become complete (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
Feed the kids and wash their clothes
Be jealous of the life that's out of reach (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
You've never felt that way inclined
It's taken all the years to find out you're free, supposedly

[Pre-Chorus]
All your sisters and your brothers
All have significant others of their own (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
Must be a thousand times she told ya
That your body's getting oldеr, don't you know? (Woah, ooh-woah)

[Chorus]
Don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alonе?
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
When you're on your own?
(Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
You'll get married to a man
Who has all the desired plans for life (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
You didn't think you'd end up here
And you'd be more than just somebody's wife (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
"You're out of time" is what they said
Now look who's sleeping in your bed
You're still free, supposedly
[Pre-Chorus]
All your sisters and your brothers
All have significant others of their own (Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)
Must be a thousand times she told ya
That your body's getting older, don't you know? (Woah, ooh-woah)

[Chorus]
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
When you're on your own?

[Instrumental Break]
(Woah, ooh-woah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
And don't that make you feel alone?
When you're on your own?

What did Rag'n'Bone Man say about "Alone"?
Genius Answer

It’s harking back to a conversation I had a few years back with a friend of mine about the pressures women face in starting a family and having children. Women shouldn’t be asked those questions—‘When are you going to have children? When are you getting married?’—because some don’t want to have children, or settle down like that, it’s not the life that they want. But unfortunately it’s this archaic idea that women of a certain age should. And it just seems so unfair.

Is there a live performance available?
