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 |
