On My Own

Struggling with the jar of sauce I remember with a flick of a wrist you got it off But things are different nowadays Oh hell I didn't want spaghetti any ways I am making it on my own! Flat tires and a car that won't start I remember how you could fix it all Now it?s Triple A and a 30-minute wait Guess I really don't mind being late I am making it on my own! Down for the count, in bed with the flu I remember you taking care of the important things So I pop a few pills for my aching head And drag my sorry butt out of bed I am making it on my own! The drip drip drip of the leaky faucet I remember you were the washer king Pipe wrench and repair kit still in the drawer Guess it can wait just a few days more I am making it on my own! Thunder and lightening, a cold rainy night I remember hot chocolate and sitting by the fire So I boil some water and turn up the heat Grab an extra blanket and put socks on my feet I am making it on my own! But when I am overcome with loneliness And just want someone to hold An empty bed and a memory just won't do I need to hear that sweet "Goodnight I love you" I don't like making it on my own.!
