Patti Labelle

Both together

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

No, oh whoo-ah...

But it was quite so easy

Well I believed,

I believe,

in love, in love

Now here I stand

I wonder why

Ooh,

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

So many times

I know I could

have told you

Losing you it

cuts like a knife

Hey, you walked out

and there went my life

I don't want to

live without you

On my own

this wasn't how it was

supposed to end

On my own

I wish that we could

do it all again

On my own

I never dreamed I'd spend

one night alone

By myself...

On my own

I've got to find out

where I belong again

On my own

I've got to learn to be

strong again

On my own

I never planned to spend

a 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
