On My Own Lyrics

On My Own lyrics

ON MY OWN
Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald
- written by Burt Bacharach
and Carole Bayer Sager
- from the 1986 album "Winner In You"

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
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in
love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

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
You walked out and there went my
life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my
own
Chorus Repeat

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish
that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night
alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn
how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By
myself by myself
I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is
saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I
have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my
own
