Alone
Players Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoo! But I love it! (laughs) I just want to take you away a minute
This song I'm about to do today is like a spiritual song, it 's a piece of my heart
You see I'm the oldest of four-teen kids
Because I was the first one, mama said that may be king
So I went out and bought me a ring (laughs)
But I found out later in life that don't mean nothing
Even though I come from that great big o'l family with four-teen kids
I had anybody by my side until I ran to these bad, bad
players and bad, bad, listeners, you know what i'm talking about
Name of this song is called " I Don't Wanna Be Alone"
Listen
I don't want to be, I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone yeah anymore, well
I don't want to be alone well shut that door
This is just a silly game girl
That we are playing yeah, well
I'll even take your blame yes I will oh well
Hear what I am saying child, I'm so ashamed
I don't want to be alone, well anymore
I don't want to be alone, well
Somebody pick me up off the floor
Listen they said that you and I will be together
From now on but if you walk out that door girl
I won't see you no more
I don't want to be alone well, anymore
I don't want to be alone
Somebody help me sing
Somebody pick me up off the floor
cho-cha, cho-chada, cho-chada, cho-chada
cho-chada, cho-chada, cho-chada, cho-chada
Do-do, do-do, you
Cho-cha, cho-chada, cho-chada, du-du, do-da, do-du, da-du
they said that you and I will be together from now on
But if you walk out the door girl
I won't see you no more
I don't want to be alone well anymore
I don't want to be alone
I don't wan to be alone somebody help me yeah
Somebody pick me up off the floor
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be
I don't want it be alone
The song "Alone" by Players is a poignant and introspective track that explores the singer's deep desire to not be alone. The introductory lines set the context for the song, with the artist expressing their excitement about sharing their personal and spiritual journey through music. Being the oldest of fourteen children, the artist feels a sense of responsibility as Mama considered them to be a potential leader. This notion is humorously highlighted by the singer purchasing a ring, only to realize later that it didn't hold much significance.
Despite belonging to a large family, the artist confesses that they have always felt a lack of companionship until they encountered the "bad, bad players and bad, bad listeners." These individuals, whom they refer to as friends or maybe even fans, have become their support system and brought a sense of belonging. The longing for connection is further emphasized in the chorus, where the artist expresses their resistance to being alone and pleads for someone to pick them up off the floor.
The lyrics also imply a romantic relationship, with the artist alluding to the promise of being together forever with the person they address as "girl." There is an undertone of vulnerability and fear of abandonment, as the artist pleads for the girl not to walk out the door, as it would mean the end of their connection. They emphasize their willingness to bear blame and shame, showcasing their devotion and commitment to the relationship.
Overall, "Alone" is a heartfelt song that delves into the artist's longing for companionship, both in terms of friendship and romance. Through their vulnerability and emotional expression, the artist conveys the universal human need for connection and the fear of being left alone.
