Make It On My Own

My baby's gone, gone into a bad dream

In the shape of a black boot aiming for his had

They said; watch it woman, get out of here, save your tears

Save your tears for a white love who deserves your prayers

You don't need matches to make something burn

Left me your ashes and walked away

All I can think of is how to get back

Taking it day by day ...

I make it on my own

Make it on my own again

Baby's gone

I'm on my own again

I make it on my own

Make it on my own again

Baby's gone

I'm on my own again

My baby's gone, running down the street like a wild horse

I said watch out my love, watch out! Baby turned his head

Just in time to feel the breeze across his face

Of the first blow

That night the sky turned white

You don't need matches to make something burn

Left me your ashes and walked away

All I can think of is how to get back

Taking it day by day ...

I make it on my own

Make it on my own again

Baby's gone

I'm on my own again

I make it on my own

Make it on my own again

Baby's gone

I'm on my own again

I make it on my own

Make it on my own again

Baby's gone

I'm on my own again
