Out Here on My Own by Cast of Fame is featured in Asian F, the third episode of Season Three. It is sung by Mercedes and Rachel.
Both of them sing it as their callback piece for West Side Story. They both auditioned for the role of Maria. They take turns to sing their version of the song but in the episode, it changes between the both of them. In the end, the results were that both of them get to be Maria on different days of the production, to which Rachel happily agrees to but Mercedes doesn't like the idea. Therefore, she drops out of the musical production as well as Glee Club.

Mercedes:
Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
Make believin' is hard alone,
Out here on my own
Rachel:
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for the risin' star
Mercedes:
To guide me far and shine me home
Out here on my own
Rachel:
When I'm down and feelin' blue
Mercedes:
I close my eyes, so I can be with you
Mercedes and Rachel:
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong...
Rachel:
To me
Mercedes:
Help me through
Help me need you
Rachel:
Sometimes I wonder where
Mercedes:
I've been
Rachel:
Who I am, do I fit in

But I can't be thrown
Mercedes (with Rachel):
Out here, oh
On my (own)
Out here
Rachel:
On my

Own
Mercedes:
Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
Make believin' is hard alone,
Out here on my own
Rachel:
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for the risin' star
To guide me far and shine me home
Mercedes and Rachel:
Out here on my own

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes, so I can be with you

Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Mercedes:
Who I am, do I fit in

On my own
Out here on my own
