| She left a message after the tone
|
| I hear it over and over on the answer phone
|
| No one can find her, address unknown
|
| She just decided to go out and make it alone
|
| Solo, solo
|
| My little child is going solo
|
| Solo, solo
|
| My little child is going solo
|
| I feel like crying, I’m in a rage
|
| I can’t understand why she just ran away
|
| What made it happen, guess we’ll never know
|
| She just decided to go out and make it solo
|
| Solo, solo, solo, solo, solo
|
| We work like dogs all of our lives
|
| Like millions of other husbands and wives
|
| Sent her through college, didn’t care what we spent
|
| Think of how we feel
|
| She didn’t say, she didn’t ask, she just went
|
| Solo, solo
|
| My little child, you’re going solo
|
| It’s like a pattern, it’s like a crime
|
| We see it happen time after time
|
| You raise your children, you watch them grow
|
| Then one day it’s good-bye, they’ve decided they’re going solo
|
| Solo, solo, solo, solo, solo
|
| The toys are forgotten, now it appears
|
| You’ve let them down after all of these years
|
| Sacrificed all, now there’s nothing to show
|
| Ungrateful youth, decided you’re going solo
|
| Solo, solo
|
| My little child, you’re going solo
|
| Solo, solo
|
| Ungrateful youth, you’re going solo
|
| The obligations, all of the ties
|
| Have got to be broken so you can survive
|
| Just because they gave you life, they can’t stop if you grow
|
| Now they can’t hold you back 'cause you’re going solo |
