I can't begin to know
How to talk in a crowd
You work in the city where the trains run real loud
My glass is empty but my mouth is dry
Show me what you got and I'll give it a try
All night long I can hear it in your tone
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Tell me a story
And I'll ask you all the right things
You've always wanted a dog
And a bird that sings
You dream at the top
But you work at the bottom
You don't hold the keys
But you know whose got em
I'd call you tomorrow
But you don't have a phone
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
On my own
I think I'll get myself a drink
I think I'll get myself a drink
Tell me again how
You're an expert in everything I do
A beginner cook
And seasoned critic too
You don't go out but you're standing next to me
Thought I knew the price
But I didn't know the fee
You can't be told
But you can be shown
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
On my own
