On My Own

Patti Labelle Michael McDonald



PL: So many times, we said it was forever

Said our love would always be true

Something in my heart always knew

I'd be lying here beside you



PM: On my own, on my own, on my own



MM: So many promises never should be spoken

Now I know what loving you cost

Now we're actually talking divorce

And we weren't even married



PL: On my own, once again now, one more time, by myself



PL: No one said it was easy, nooooooooooo

MM: But it once was so easy

PL: well I believe MM: I believe

PL: In love (MM: in love)

PL: Now here I stand

PM: I wonder why

PL: Whooooo



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

This wasn't how it was supposed to be

I wish that we could do it all again



MM: So many times, I know I could have told you

Losing you it cut like a knife, hey

You walked out and out with my life

I don't wanna live without you



MM: On my own

PL: (this wasn't how it was supposed to end)

MM: On my own

PL: I wish that we could do it all again

MM: On my own

PL: I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

PL: By my self



PL: On my Own

MM: (I've got to find out where I belong again)

PL: On my own

MM: I've got to learn to be strong again

PL: On my own

MM: I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

By my self



PL: I've got to find out what was wrong again

MM: My heart is saying that it's time again

PL: I have faith that I would shine again



PM: I have faith in me

MM: (By my self,, by my self)
