(Burt Bacharach & C B Sayer)



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

One more time

By myself



No one said it was easy

But it once was so easy

Well I believed in love

Now here I stand



I wonder why I'm on my own

Why did it end this way (on my own)

This wasn't how it was supposed to be (on my own)

I wish that we could do it all again



So many times

I know I could have told you

Losin' you, it cuts like a knife

You walked out and there went my life

I don't want to live without you



On my own

Once again

This wasn't how it was supposed to be (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



I've got to find out what was mine again (on my own)

My heart is saying that it's time again (on my own)

And I think that I'm as sure as you
