In My Own Way
I gathered a mountain,
an ocean of teardrops.
A castle of break-ups
to hide myself in.
I've waited a lifetime
for someone to find me,
for someone to reach me,
somewhere to begin.
Now I'm a woman,
I can tell by the look in your eyes.
We're no strangers,
I can tell by the way you smile.
I've painted the sunsets,
the dawnings I've missed you.
The hours I've kissed you
to keep my heart alive.
It's the heat of your breathing,
oh, the way you are whispering,
the urge of your wanting.
I can't leave you behind.
Now I'm a woman,
I can tell by the look in your eyes.
We're no strangers,
I can tell by the way you smile.
You bring a little hope, bring a little love.
You bring a little hope, bring a little love.
You bring a little hope, bring a little love.
Yeah!
Now I'm a woman,
I can tell by the look in your eyes.
We're no strangers,
I can tell by the way you smile.
I don't want to own you.
I don't want to lead you.
I just want to love you
in my own way.
