"Out On My Own" lyrics

I was a girl who just couldn't say no
I would watch as they'd come and go
They didn't care if they left me cold
They didn't care if they left me out in the cold
Out on my own

As the years went by I learned not to cry
I walked away with my head held high
I can remember when I thought it was good
And I remember when they left me it was for good
Out on my own

I thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
Thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
She knew what she wanted
She got what she needed

I was the girl who tore up the streets
House on the hill was not my dream
I was the one who had to run free
Had to run wild, nobody running with me
Out on my own

I thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
Thought I knew what I wanted, thought I got what I needed
She knew what she wanted
She got what she needed
