Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations Flyin' above the rest, never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went and I'm in a little situation Maybe it's for the best I could live alone, I guess
(Chorus) Maybe I could stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe she'll fly on home
Excuse me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation Hung up on all my doubt Trying to sort the whole thing out Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information Spinning inside my head
Every word she ever said
(Repeat Chorus Twice) Maybe I could stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe she'll fly on home
Maybe I could stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe she'll fly on home
