"On Your Own" lyrics

"On Your Own"

Everybody thinks they've got you down
They think they know the girl they see around
They don't know the girl that I
I know who wants to spread her wings and fly

Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?
Call me on the telephone
And I will be there for you
Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?

You know it's up to
You were always Daddy's little schoolgirl
Now you have to make it in this cruel world
Where they don't know the girl I know
The girl who wants to spread her wings and go

Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?
Call me on the telephone
And I will be there for you
Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?
You know it's up to

You know it's up to
You, you were just a little girl
Who made me your friend now
You, you were just a little girl
Who played pretend now
You, you were just a little girl
Who changed her mind
Little girl who left me behind
They don't know the girl I see
The girl who wants to spread her wings and be free

Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?
Call me on the telephone
And I will be there for you
Now you're on your own
What are you gonna do?
You know it's up to
You know, you know it's up to you
