Solo
LEOSAYER Lyrics

Used to see him hanging around everywhere
I used to see him all the time, hanging out on his own and in his own world.

In a world of his own
He seemed to exist in his own little universe, separate from everyone else.

See him hanging round street corners where we would meet
I saw him hanging out on street corners where we used to gather together.

He was a lonely kid
He was a solitary and isolated child.

Now they tell us that he's moved on
I heard that he has left and gone elsewhere.

Ain't been seen for so long, Don't know where he's gone
It's been a while since anyone's seen him and nobody knows where he is.

It's been so long, but I'm on the road
It's been a while, but I'm still moving forward and continuing on with my journey.

And though it ain't been easy
Even though it has been difficult and challenging.

At least I made it on my own
I am proud that I have achieved my goals by myself.

My tongue's been tied for far too long
I've been holding back and not expressing myself for a long time.

And now your gonna hear me
Now I am finally going to speak my mind and share my thoughts and feelings.

At least I know where I belong
I have found my place and purpose in life.

S.O.L.O. I'm on the road
I am travelling alone, solo.

Hello hello, I'm on my own
Hello, I am alone and independent.

Ah y'see everybody's got someone
Everybody seems to have a person to rely on.

To lay their troubled lives upon
Someone to share their problems and worries with.

I'm really glad I've only got my own
I am happy that I only have myself to depend on and don't have to worry about other people's problems.

Once upon a time, well I had lots of friends
There was a time when I had many friends.

I moved freely through their lives
I was able to easily interact and socialize with my friends.

But two's a couple and, well three's a crowd
As my friends paired off and started relationships, I felt left out.

I was just left out, hanging around
I was excluded and left to linger alone.

I've had as much as I can take
I've reached my limit and can't endure any more.

There ain't no need to stay
There's no point in remaining in a situation where I don't feel wanted or included.

S.O.L.O. I'm on the road
I am travelling alone, solo.

Hello hello, I'm all alone
Hello, I am alone and independent.

Ah yes everybody smiles at me
Everyone greets me with a smile.

As I go walking by
As I pass by them while walking.

But I'm really glad I've only got my own
I am happy that I only have myself to rely on and don't have to worry about other people's problems.

S.O.L.O. I'm all alone
I am travelling alone, solo.

S.O.L.O. I'm going down the road
I am travelling alone, solo, down the road.
