Going Solo
Ray Davies

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
