Houston, Whitney - On My Own Lyrics






I'm wiser now
I'm not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago

I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know

I put myself aside to do it your way
But now I need to do it all alone

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'll keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it on my own

It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
Too many lies

And if you don't know by now
I can't go back to being someone else
Not anymore

I never had a chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it

Oh, I start again, go back to one
I'm running things in my way
Can't stop me now, I've just begun
Don't even think about it
There ain't no way about it

I'm taking names, the ones of mine
Yes, I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it

See, I'm not afraid

I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it
On my own

Houston, Whitney On My Own Comments
  1. D.... J....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

  2. T.... ....

    I heard this song growing up but this is my first time really listening and man , it brought a tear to my eye.

  3. H.... S....

    Song of motivation

  4. c.... f....

    Even when she wasn't her best she still was the best I sorry she was a best I miss her so much

  5. S.... O....

    She was beloved by everyone !! So huge loss of music world will never make up !!

  6. P.... G....

    Amo a esta hermosa mujer jamas me canso de escucharla fue ,es y va a ser lo mas grande para mi

  7. P.... B....

    Beautiful song

  8. a.... s....

    Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion sa mga power belter foreign song, Lani Misalucha, Jaya, Regine Velasquez nmn sa mga local power belter...

  9. a.... s....

    Lupeeeet ng idol ko

  10. a.... s....

    One 's favorite song is Whitney Houston, ang ganda ng pag ka deliver ng song

  11. l.... a....

    loooooove it

  12. A.... J....

    Typical whitney style! One of her best!

  13. s.... ....

    "Just Whitney" is deffo one of her most underrate and overlooked albums! We all know about the personal problems she was having and her treatment by the press at this time, but lets face it, her music and videos were always on point! She never let anything come in the way of her work. A true professional and a real hard worker too. RIP Nippy.

  14. n.... e....

    I want to do it on my own in 2020

  15. Y.... ....

    The part where she belted “See, I’m not afraid...”, I felt how she succinctly interpreted being undaunted of embarking on a journey unknown to her—not knowing what lies ahead but still pursuing things on her own. Only a person like her who has gone out of similar ordeal could articulate such struggle in a four-second part of a song. Lot of emotions for a split-minute time!

  16. p.... w....

    trying to do it on my own in 2020 ....

  17. J.... S....

    OMG, yes with God as our Partner it's time to do it His way not other's way. Yes, go for it.

  18. E.... M....

    The "Over the Rainbow" cue-cards at 00:59 > 1:07 are an inside joke. I wonder how many so-called Whitney "fans" even noticed it, or got the reference.

  19. L.... M....

    Que mulher linda,que falta faz,que esteja em um bom lugar,saudades eterna 😢

  20. A.... S....

    When Whitney first came on the scene I was like "Harpo!! who dis woman"?? I been a fan ever since.

  21. I.... ....

    👍☀️👍GRAZIE Whitney ! From 🇮🇹 Italy ❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️

  22. S.... G....

    She made HISTORY n accomplished things unheard of (while dealing with one of the WORST addictions ever, that damn smoking 🚬 of cocaine n C-sticks!! I loved her more through it ALL.. She came back n God allowed her to get her baby, Bobbi Kristina. Those that abused, stole n took advantage of her vulnerabilities will PAY(Pat Garland), she ain’t gotta drop of Houston blood running thru those cold 🥶 veins of hers!!! Now my Sister, Nippy the struggle is OVER! Thank you 🙏 My Lord.. Now my sister n her baby are at peace, the struggles are over (Whitney) Nippy n Bobbi Kristina 🙏 RIP&P... #BeTrueToThyself #RobynCrawford&Nippy

  23. S.... G....

    I’m here Nippy n will be till my last breath n on, if OUR LORD so permits Whit. She’s ALWAYS BEEN n continues 2day to be my Newark/East Orange Sister! I now look at New Hope Baptist from my balcony. I still cry with her music 🎼 n if u listen to her lyrics n songs she sang, she was letting the world 🌎 know how she felt n who she REALLY was. She endured some BIG shoes that we won’t ever come close to walk in! She is in the World Book of Guinness!

  24. n.... ....

    I get it - as soon as she got rid of all white jury and invited all black crowd, the place started rocking

    n.... ....

    A melhor cantora de todos os tempos!

  85. F.... A....

    A prophetic song.
    A glimpse into the journey from Newark/ East Orange, NJ to traveling the globe.
    The pressures of that amazing career evidently confiscated her soul. The demons that she lived with daily that some of us can relate. However, the choices she made will never equate to the unequivocal voice that she had. Her garland will invariably continue...the greatest singer of all generations.
    I love you Whitney❤

    Dammam 🇸🇦

  93. y.... s....

    😔🙌🙌🙌🙂

  94. K.... B....

    I can't remember how many times I heard this song.. Believing that time had come to try it on my own.. But each time.. There was something or someone that prevented me from trying like I wanted to...
    Today.. It's the Day. ..time has finally come to feel each word of this song.. Each one yeah..
    Thanks to all the people who tried to get me wrong and down.. They didn't succeed to kill me.. Nor to make me become like them.. So.. Wiser and stronger... My heart and my soul stayed the same.. and will.. So.. It's time for me to try it on my own.. Stand.. Alone.. I'm not afraid

    I knew there'll come a time when all will lead me to somewhere but I didn't know where.. Maybe to today..

    I've always loved this song..
    💖💖💖💝

  95. C.... R....

    still the greatest singer of all times...although doing it on her own didn't quite work out for her did it

  96. S.... R....

    Still the best voice in the world
