|
Self-contained and self-content |
|
No promises to keep |
|
I've got things so together |
|
That I just can't fall asleep |
|
Walked the night and drank the moon |
|
Got home at half-past four, |
|
And I knew that no-one marked my time |
|
As I unlocked my door. |
|
It's really lovely to discover |
|
That you like to be alone |
|
Not to owe your man an answer |
|
When he gets you on the phone |
|
Not to share a pair of porkchops |
|
When you crave champagne and cheese |
|
And your aim becomes to please yourself |
|
And not to aim to please |
|
Oh they sold me when they told me |
|
Two can live as cheap as one |
|
But I'm learning twice you're earning |
|
Doesn't mean it's twice the fun |
|
If you spend your each dime and all your time |
|
On someone else's schemes |
|
I'm not needy but I'm greedy |
|
And I live my deepest dreams |
|
Take an hour in the shower |
|
Use the water while it's hot |
|
In the tub a hand to scrub my back |
|
Is all I haven't got. |
|
Self-aware with self-esteem |
|
Is selfishness a crime? |
|
I take the day for quite a ride |
|
And I take my own sweet time |
|
Time to spare and time to share |
|
And grateful I would be |
|
If just one damn man would share the need |
|
To be alone with me. |
