I was a girl who just couldn't say no I would watch as they'd come and go They didn't care if they left me cold They didn't care if they left me out in the cold Out on my Own As the years went by I learned not to cry I walked away with my head held high I can remember when I thought it was good And I remember when they left me it was for good Out on my Own I thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed She knew what she wanted She got what she needed I was the girl who tore up the streets House on the hill was not my dream I was the one who had to run free Had to run wild, nobody running with me Out on my Own I thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed She knew what she wanted She got what she needed.
