Standing Alone
White Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look around me
See you staring into my eyes
I know what you′re seein', baby
Look at me, it′s no surprise
'Cause when I found you
Never really thought I'd understand
You need some kind of lovin′, girl
Someone to hold you, never let you go

Standing
Standing alone
Standing
Standing
Standing alone

See you′re scared and lonely
Don't know how you feel
You want something
Something that is real
You′ve been hurt, many times before
Don't know if there′s love anymore
It won't strain, hurt, you′re cryin' out loud
Just bein' lonely, part of the crowd
You have your doubts, girl, So do I
I′m here to help you, and make you realize

Standing
Standing alone
Standing
Standing
Standing alone

(Solo)

Standing
Standing alone
Standing (I don′t know what we're headin′ for)
Standing
Standing alone (Not gonna hurt you like the time before)
Don't you know
Standing
Standing alone
Standing (Oh, no)
Standing
Standing alone (Not gonna hurt you girl, never gonna let you go)
