Do It Alone
Sugarcult Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello
Can I say that there's something wrong with this place?
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then I say "Can't find a lover"
Well there's no other way of pulling me under
'Cause it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all alone

We can dance in your bedroom with no romance
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then you say "there won't be another"
But you give it away cause you want to discover
That it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok

I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it alone
Tell you what
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all

1, 2, 3, 4
4, 3, 2, 1

I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin' you [Repeat x 4]

I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin you
I don't want to do it alone
Tell you what
I don't want to do it alone
I'm beggin you
I don't want to do it, do it, do this all alone

Can I say that there's something wrong with this place?
I got time just to waste if you would be my new escape
So then I say "Can't find a lover"
Well there's another way of pulling me under
'Cause it's gotta be fate if we're under the covers
It's all gonna be a-ok
It's all gonna be a-ok, a-ok





I don't want to do it alone.

This song pops in my head every once in a while because of employee of the month. A banger, the song and the movie.

Paul Hoon

Same here, it's how I found the song. I still love it.

JDINCINERATOR

I can agree about the song but the film is quite questionable.

张耀辉

I' think I'm especially obsessed with this music style since it has both the faint feeling of sadness and the power, the rhythm of the rock music.
