Lyrics of Alone by Rag'n'Bone Man
verse
Hurry up and find the one
Who makes you feel like you′ve become complete
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
Feed the kids and wash their clothes
Be jealous of the life that's out of reach
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, 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
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
Must be a thousand times she told you
That your body′s getting oldеr, don′t you know?
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
chorus
Don't that make you feel alonе?
But don′t that make you feel alone?
But don't that make you feel alone?
But don′t that make you feel alone
When you're on your own?
hook
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
verse
You′ll get married to a man
Who has all the desired plans for life
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
You didn't think you'd end up here
And you′d be more than just somebody′s wife
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, 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
And all your sisters and your brothers
All have significant others of their own
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
Must be a thousand times she told you
That your body′s getting oldеr, don't you know?
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
chorus
Don′t that make you feel alonе?
But don't that make you feel alone?
But don't that make you feel alone?
But don′t that make you feel alone
When you′re on your own?
hook
(Whoa, ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah)
outro
Don't that make you feel alone?
But don′t that make you feel alone?
But don't that make you feel alone?
But don′t that make you feel alone
When you're on your own?
Writer(s): Rory Charles Graham, Benjamin Charles Jackson-cook, Bill Banwell
