[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
Make believing
Is hard alone
Out here on my own

[Verse 2]
We're always proving
Who we are
Always reaching for
That rising star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own

[Chorus]
When I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

[Verse 3]
Until the morning
Sun appears
Making light
Of all my fears
I dry the tears
I've never shown
Out here on my own

[Chorus]
But when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own

[Outro]
Out here on my own

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
