LONE WOLF
Colin James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe
Tonight I'm on the prowl

When I howl you can hear for miles around
When I howl you can hear for miles around
You better watch out tonight the wolf's in town
When you hear me howling, I'm not howling at the moon
I'm crying for some loving and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf baby
Tonight I'm on the prowl

I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night
I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night

Well I'm a real gone dog with a ... at the tight
Well I'm gonna where she's at
I'm gonna pick her up where she walks at
To the east and on to the west
And I won't settle for second best

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
When you hear me howling
I'm not howling at the moon
...............of some lovin' and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl





Gone Dog

Overall Meaning

The song "Lone Wolf" by Colin James is a rock/blues style track that expresses the feeling of being a lone wolf, someone who is independent and self-reliant. The lyrics are about a man who howls like a wolf, looking for love and affection, but always ends up being alone. When he howls, he is not just howling at the moon, but also calling out for someone to love him.


The first two verses show how the man is a lone wolf, howling at night, and announcing his presence to the surrounding area, letting everyone know that he is out there. He is on the prowl and is in search of a mate. The third verse shows how he is looking for someone specific and will go to any length to find her. He won't settle for anything less than the best.


The fourth verse is where the title of the song comes into play. He is a "real gone dog" with a "bite that's tight," meaning that he is a tough and independent guy, but he cannot sleep at night without someone to love him. He is looking for affection and cannot find it, causing him to be restless and without peace.


Overall, "Lone Wolf" is a song about a man who is looking for love, but always ends up alone. He howls like a wolf, calling out for someone to hear him, but it seems like no one ever does.
