Alone (Funkyman Mix)

[Intro: Stephen Simmonds]
I said, oh no
It's all I know, yeah
Yeah, dun

[Verse 1: Stephen Simmonds]
My fate has been sealed, my fate has been shown
It's left me no shield, it's left me alone
The lonely one's weak, but doesn't lay down
The lonely one speaks when no one's around
It's cold when you're outside and warm when you're in
I've followed my instincts, so life is my sin
Love is my witness, love is my truth
Lord is the judge for me and for you

[Chorus: Stephen Simmonds]
Alone
It's so hard to live
Alone
I know I can't be positive
Alone
I got no place to call
My home

[Verse 2: Stephen Simmonds]
And I got no friends to call, oh no
The day turns to night, the night turns to day
I can't tell the white or black from the grey
Can't tell the white from the black
I can't tell the black from the grey
Maybe I shouldn't, maybe I should
Maybe I couldn't, maybe I could
Don't know, but maybe I should, lady, if you only could
Lend me some time so I can explain
Show me a sign and release my pain
Outside, there's nothing but rain
Inside there's nothing but pain
If you approve, then it will be
I won't leave you if you won't leave me
Oh, you don't leave me

[Chorus: Stephen Simmonds]
Alone
It's so hard to live
Alone
I know I can't be positive
Alone
I got no place to call
My home
And I can't...

[Verse 3: Big L & Stephen Simmonds]
Bust it, I need somebody I can call my own
To call my home, 'cause basically I'm all alone (Oh no)
Like a only child, sitting quiet with a phony smile
Use to have friends but I'm lonely now
And uh, my every morning, noon and nights are gray
And uh, it's kind of hard to live my life this way
I need someone who's true without the games and the funny ways
Someone who can turn my rainy nights into sunny days

[Verse 4: Marquee]
In the Avalon, zoning out to Sarah Vaughan
Puffing on some marijuan' 'cause everything I had is gone
Days is dismal, now it's all crystal
Used to lie, hide your pistol
Wish I blew the whistle, barely missed you
Since you left me, no longer sex me
Straight up neglect me, can't even call and check me
Feel so ashamed, that's aight 'cause now I know the game
Sitting here, looking at your picture in this broken frame

[Outro: Stephen Simmonds]
If you can't, then no one can save me
I'm tired of waiting now, baby
You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
Alone
If you can't, then no one can save me
You gotta let me know now, baby
Alone
You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
