Go It Alone
Joe Jonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call your mother, call your brother
Grab a neighbor
They can see it for themselves, prehistoric
You can't ignore it
It's what you wanted

You just needed a little help
To fan the flame that you already lit
To play the game that you were born to win
The moment's here, so are you comin' with?
Yeah, are you comin' with? Oh

You don't know 'til you try, try, try
Sometimes all it takes is time, time, time
And it'll always be you and I
You don't have to go it alone
Yeah, you get back what you give, give, give
We only got a life to live, live, live
And it'll always be you and I
You don't have to go it alone

Take a picture
Before and after, you put the work in
But you can see it for yourself
That I'm gonna be in your corner
Midnight or morning

You just needed a little help
To fan the flame that you already lit
To play the game that you were born to win
The moment's here, so are you comin' with?
Yeah, are you comin' with? Oh (are you comin' with? Oh)

You don't know 'til you try, try, try
Sometimes all it takes is time, time, time
And it'll always be you and I
You don't have to go it alone
Yeah, you get back what you give, give, give
We only got a life to live, live, live
And it'll always be you and I
You don't have to go it alone

Na, na, na, na na na (try, try, try) yeah
Na, na, na, na na na na (time, time, time)




Na, na, na, na, na, na
You don't have to go it alone
