 Struggling with Alone? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

'Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight,oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

'Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone
