[Verse 1]
My fate has been sealed, my fate has been shown
It's left me no shield, it's left me alone
The lonely one's weak, but doesn't lay down
The lonely one speaks when no one's around
It's cold when you're outside and warm when you're in
I've followed my instincts, so life is my sin
Love is my witness, love is my truth
Lord is the judge for me and for you
[Chorus]
Alone
It's so hard to live
Alone
I know I can't be positive
Alone
I got no place to call
My home
[Verse 2]
And I got no friends to call, oh no
The day turns to night, the night turns to day
I can't tell the white or black from the grey
Can't tell the white from the black
I can't tell the black from the grey
Maybe I shouldn't, maybe I should
Maybe I couldn't and maybe I could
Don't know, but maybe I should, lady, if you only could
Lend me some time so I can explain
Show me a sign and release my pain
Outside there's nothing but rain, inside there's nothing but pain
If you approve, then it will be
I won't leave you if you won't leave me
Oh, you don't leave me
[Chorus]
Alone
It's so hard to live
Alone
I know I can't be positive
Alone
I got no place to call
My home
And I got no friends to call, oh no
[Verse 3]
If you can't, then no one can save me
I'm tired of waiting now, baby
You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
If you can't, then no one can save me
I'm tired of waiting now, baby
You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
If you can't, then no one can save me
You gotta let me know now, baby
You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
[Outro]
Ooh, baby, my love is for real
Oh, yes, girl, it's gonna make me feel
Ooh, baby, my love is for real
Oh, yes, girl, it's gonna make me feel
Ooh, baby, my love is for
