Single Life |
| People say |
| They’re jealous of me |
| Asking all the time how I can be so lucky |
| And how they wish they’d never kissed |
| The single life goodbye |
| And why |
| They struggle every day |
| To keep from straying |
| They want my life |
| They call and me a crafty little devil |
| They think I’ve got it made |
| That my streets are paved and golden |
| And I bath in sun rays every day |
| And everybody tell me |
| Not to be afraid |
| To gather all the harvest |
| That the good Lord made |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| When you sleep |
| You sleep alone |
| And you can roll right to the centre of the bed |
| And you don’t have to have strength |
| For anybody else |
| And you never have to shout |
| To defend yourself |
| You can eat cake and even ice cream |
| And you can stay out really late |
| And you can bring home someone |
| To make you feel special |
| But it’s for a few hours |
| Then they go away |
| And everybody tell me |
| Not to be afraid |
| To gather all the harvest |
| That the good Lord made |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| When I see two people |
| They look crazy in love |
| A little bit of heaven |
| Shining in their eyes |
| Free and single sounds exciting and it can be |
| With no warning a great adventure calls |
| Hitch a ride |
| Every time I think I’ve found that someone |
| I awake |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| Single life is not what it appears to be |
| Hope it’s not how fate has mapped my life for me |
| Don’t obsess |
| But I’m looking real hard |
| It’s a spice that I’m missing |
| From the ingredients |
| I got freedom |
| And the money that I work for every day |
| Could buy me a colour |
| But it won’t buy me a body |
| I can feel the language |
| The language of love |
| That’s so universal |
| Everybody gets to speak it |
| When they fall in love |
| That’s the end of lonely nights |
| And |
| Single life |
