I Think We're Alone Now
Tiffany氀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Children behave, that's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around




I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Overall Meaning

"I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany is a highly catchy song that speaks to the thrill and potential danger of young love. The song starts with a message to kids to behave when they are together as people are always watching them. However, the lyrics then dive into the story of a young couple who do not seem to care about the world around them as they escape to be alone with each other. The chorus of the song repeats the idea of being alone, with the beating of their hearts being the only sound they hear. This is a classic song of teenage desire, wanting to be with each other and feeling the excitement of a secret tryst.


Throughout the song, the lyrics also portray a sense of fear and anxiety about being caught by others. The idea of hiding their actions and fearing the judgment of the world around them adds an edge to the otherwise sweet love song. This fear and danger bring a sense of excitement and urgency to the lovers.


"I Think We're Alone Now" was originally sung by Tommy James and The Shondells, but it was Tiffany's cover version that became a massive hit in 1987. The song quickly climbed the charts, and the video became incredibly popular on MTV, helping to launch Tiffany's career. The song remains iconic today and is considered one of the biggest hits of the 1980s.


Line by Line Meaning

Children behave, that's what they say when we're together
People tell us to behave when we're together


And watch how you play
Be careful how you behave in public


They don't understand
They don't understand our relationship


And so we're running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another's hands
We run away and hold hands because we can't express our love openly


Trying to get away into the night
We're trying to escape into the darkness


And then you put your arms around me
And then you embrace me


And we tumble to the ground and then you say
We fall to the ground and you say


I think we're alone now
I believe we're alone now


There doesn't seem to be anyone around
There doesn't appear to be anyone watching us


The beating of our hearts is the only sound
We can only hear the sound of our own hearts


Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
We have to conceal what we're doing


'Cause what would they say if they ever knew
Because they would judge us if they found out
