Solitude

Solitude is my preferred state Nothing pleases me Like my own company I’m so happy being on my own I’m never lonely Just because I’m alone. I got here single-handed And that’s how I plan to stay If you can’t understand it Then you’d best be on your way. Don’t try to phone me I don’t have a phone No, I’m not lonely, Just because I’m alone. The people I get on with best Are me, myself and I. I can’t find time for all the rest No matter how I try If you think it’s tough My being on my own I’m well enough So leave well enough alone. Don’t try to own me I just won’t be owned And don’t think I’m lonely Just because I’m alone Don’t think me rude. And don’t get irate It’s just that solitude Is my preferred state
