Out Here On My Own - Lamont Dozier

Ain’t got no job, ain’t go no home

My mom and poppa’s gone

I gotta face it on my own

Ain’t got no hope, ran’out of rope

And living ain’t easy, when you’re black and greasy

I’m out here, I’m out here on my own

I said, I’m out here, I’m out here all alone

I’m sick of trying, I’m afraid of dying

Tired of pains, and the stress insane

I live a life that’s killing me

I’ve got a take that won’t ever be, Oh Lord

I’ve gotta fight with reality, whooo Ooh Ooh

And accept laws of all my sins

I’m knocked down, can’t find a key

I’ve been abused by society, whoa

I can’t find no shelter, find no place to hide

Accepting handouts and playing with my pride

I’m forced to steal, against my will

And there I am, In another jam

And nobody nobody gives a damn

Ain’t got no job, ain’t go no home

My mom and poppa’s gone

I gotta face it all alone

Ain’t got no hope, ran’out of rope

And living ain’t easy, when you’re black and greasy

I’m out here, I’m out here on my own

I said, I’m out here, I’m out here all alone

I’m sick of trying, afraid of dying

I’m Tired of pains, and the stress insane

Like father like son, the same old story has begun

From the cradle --- my daddy worried like a slave

Now the pressure’s on me, got bad vibes from my family

Oh, Lord, Ain’t got nothing to call back home

If I make a slip, it’s by, by, gone

No thought for hire, and I can’t retire

So, here I am, In another jam

And nobody, nobody gives a damn!

I’m out here, I’m out here on my own

I’m out here, I’m out here all alone

Because I’m out here, I’m out here on my own

I’m out here, I’m out here all alone

Because I’m out here, I’m out here on my own

I said, I’m out her

I said, I’m out here, I’m out here all alone

No one to help me

I said, I’m out her

No one to help me, Lordy, Good, good help me

I said, I’m out her

Lordy, Lordy, Good god, help me!

I’m out here all alone, I’m out here all alone

I said, I’m out here!
