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
