Out Here on My Own by Lamont Dozier Lyrics

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!
