Lyrics Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald

On My Own

So many times, said it was forever

Said our love would always be true

Something in my heart always knew

I'd be lying here beside you

On my own, on my own, on my own

So many promises never should be spoken

Now I know what loving you cost

Now we're up to talking divorce

And we weren't even married

On my own, once again now

One more time by myself

No one said it was easy, oh no

But it once was so easy

Well, I believed in love

Now here I stand I wonder why, ooh

I'm on my own, why did it end this way

(On my own)

This wasn't how it was supposed to be

(On my own)

I wish that we could do it all again

So many times, I know I should have told you

Losing you it cut like a knife, hey

You walked out and there went my life

I don't want to live without you

(On my own)

This wasn't how it was supposed to end

(On my own)

I wish that we could do it all again

(On my own)

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

(By myself)

On my own, I've got to find out where I belong again

(On my own)

I've got to learn to be strong again

(On my own)

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

(By myself)

By myself, by myself

(On my own)

I've got to find out what was mine again

(On my own)

My heart is saying that it's my time again

(On my own)

And I have faith that I will shine again

(By myself)

(On my own)

Oh, babe

(On my own)

Give me

(On my own)
