Lyrics
When I met her, she was only seventeen
We stayed away from school
We got our lessons while our parents weren?t home
When we could be all alone
When I was with her we fought like cats and dogs
We fought for what we believed
The love was harsh; we were better off alone
She will survive on her own
Her present lover is nothing like me
He?s got a lot on the ball
But he hasn?t seen ways in which she?s grown
She will survive on her own
I don?t see her marrying soon
I don?t plan it myself
I love her as none I?ve ever known
But she will survive on her own
When I met her, she was only seventeen
We stayed away from school
We got our lessons while our parents weren?t home
When we could be all alone
I?ll want to be remembered when we?ve each grown old
You can?t outrun the past
I regret errors and the chances that I?ve blown
But she will survive
On her own
On her own
She will survive
She will survive on her own
