When you`re living on your own
And things around you start to go
You`re on your own,well baby you`re on your own
When i see it in your smile
I can tell it ain`t your style
You`re on your own,well baby you`re on your own

You`re alone if you don`t know it
And pretty soon it takes its toll
Maybe i should ask you why
You need everything
But you ain`t got it,`cause you`re living on your own

One day soon this will be gone
And the love of life it could be
But `til then you`ll look at me
Then you`ll feel it grow
And you`ll always know
You ain`t got it living on your own

And when i see you look at me
And i can tell how it will be
You`re on your own well baby you`re on your own
I can tell the way you smile
And just you wait and in a while
You`re on your own well baby you`re on your own
