Music and lyrics by Alanis, Leslie Howe, & Serge Cote



Why do I feel it's all up to me to see that

everything's right and it's how it should be

Why don't they just leave me alone

I've got to prove I can

Little girl with stars in her eyes they've

got her all figured out and there's nowhere

to hide why can't they all see who I am

when will they understand



It may take some time they don't know how

it feels because they can't read my mind

They always say I'm too young and they

feel they should help me

But I can make it all alone out here on my own

Every day I feel so in demand and all I

wish I could find is a place I can land

One day I'll feel comfort inside cause I'll

know who I am



I can hold the line if I know in the end

that I won't be left behind I don't regret

what I've done I don't think you can blame me

Now I'm standin' all alone out here on my own



I'm not thinking 'bout leavin' home

But I need to be on my own

Doesn't mean I have a heart of stone

I won't even ask them why

I can't ever let them see me cry

Here I'm standing all alone out here on my own...

out here on my own



Feeling lost in a world full of lies

I can't help thinkin' that love is just

passin' me by Hold on to what I believe

and keep an open hand



Can I have it all if there's no one to

turn to when I stumble and fall

Is there a secret I need because no one

has told me - all alone



It may take some time cause I know

how it feels to have a lot on your mind

I'll never feel all alone cause I

Know that I have me

Now I can make it all alone out here on my own
