So here you are again
standing at my door
You know I understand
well that's what friends are for
what's he done this time
what did he say to make you  so darn mad that you're running away
now you say you want to be like me
independent and free
But if you only knew
what a single girl goes through
The long working days in the lonely nights
the empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew
what it's like to be alone
you'd put you anger down turn around and go back home
My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
you see in my eyes you are the lucky one
with loving arms that you can lean opon
I'd give anything I could save
what you're throwing away
Cause if you only knew
what a single girl goes through
the long working days and the lonely nights
the empty I love yous
If you only knew
what it's like to be alone
you'd put you anger down turn around and go back home
I know it's hard to face the love ain't perfectly every day
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place
So if you only knew
what a single girl goes through
the long working days and the lonely nights
the empty I love you
Oh if you only knew
what it's like to be alone
you put you anger down turn around and go back home
you put you anger down turn around and go back home
If you only knew
