On My Own

There's a playground where i used to play
everyday til the sun would fall
it was there that i would make believe
i had a dad who'd throw a ball

All on my own
all on my own
i dont need you
where were you when mom and i were struggling?
where were you when i had to pretend?
i had to pretend that my daddy was my friend

Now it's easy to forget a birthday
but how could forget that i was born?
so this fathers' day i'll buy my mother flowers
and a card that says i couldnt thank you more

All on my own
all on my own
i dont need you
where were you when mom and i were struggling?
where were you when i had to pretend?
i had to pretend that my daddy was my friend

When I've got a boy of my own
I'll give him the hope
i'll read bed time stories
with his little league glories

And i'll never let him go
watching him grown
i hope that you'll always know
that i'll always be there
an inseperable pair
just to show that i care

All on my own
all on my own
i dont need you
where were you when mom and i were struggling?
where were you when i had to pretend?
i had to pretend that my daddy was my friend
that my daddy was my friend
