Whitney Houston
Try It On My Own
[Verse 1]
I'm wiser now
I'm not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it your way
But now I need to do it all alone

[Chorus]
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'll keep it real, you know
Time for me to do it on my own
Yeah-yeah-yeah, mmm, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
Too many lies
And if you don't know by now
I can't go back to being someone else
Not anymore
I never had a chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control
[Chorus]
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know
Time for me to do it (Oh)

[Bridge]
I start again go back to one
I'm running things my way (My way)
Can't stop me now, I've just begun
Don't even think about it
There ain't no way about it
I'm taking names, the world is mine
Yes, I'm going to take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

[Chorus]
I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know
It's time for me to do it, see, I'm not afraid
(I am not afraid) to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know
It's time for me to do it on my own
[Outro]
Yeah, on
On my own
