Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it
(Owner of a lonely heart)
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart

Okay, first off, this is NOT YES!!!! This was written by Yes in the eighties to make money, that is it. If you listen to real Yes, made from 1970-1978, you will cry when you hear this song. I re-litened to it to make this post, and had to stop, it is pathetically bad, and I'm ashamed that it is Jon Anderson singing it. Listen to Close To The Edge, The Yes Album, Fragile, just listen to the song Roundabout, and you will be embarrased for Jon Anderson. Those albums are musically dense, and the lyrics are meaningful. Close to the Edge saved my life!!! I can't blame him for wanting to make the money, but it is like Van Gogh painting a McDonald's ad, or Stanley Kubrick making a Ford car commercial. Just better not listened to.
Shame on those who liked this and don't know real Yes!!!! Listen to Close to the Edge!!! It will teach you!
Absolutely 100% right
You pompous weasel...Yes has been around for 40 years...Who are you to tell anyone what the real Yes is?.."Close to the Edge saved my life"...Are you shitting me?..
I am pompous but I'm not sure where the weasel impression comes in.<br /> <br /> I meant "real" as opposed to "commercial." And I'm not telling you, just expressing my opinion of what real Yes music is, I'm allowed to have one. At one point they even kicked Jon Anderson out of the band, his own band that he started, so that there was not even one original member, no Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, or Rick Wakeman, geniuses all, even involved. The label kept the name to sell records.<br /> <br /> I was drunk when I wrote this but I stand by the points I made. This song is eighties commercial garbage. But, one man's garbage, you know. The part about Close to the Edge saving my life I meant more in a metaphorical way, helped get me through some lonely and depressing times. Have you never had music affect you at all? I've probably listed to Close to the Edge fifty-sixty times.
I love both Roundabout and Owner of a Lonely Heart. They both excellent playing, audio quality and meaningful lyrics. There's nothing wrong with Owner of a Lonely Heart. An opinion is one thing, but an elitist attitude is counterproductive, it makes you miserable (obsessing about your preferences) and most people don't want to hear it.
