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 it's 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
