All By Myself
On the radio, I heard a country song
‘Bout the tragedy of being all alone
I know that must be something really bad
But a quieter quiet, I have never had
I live alone, yes, all by myself
I don’t have to put up with anyone else
I can have trail mix for my supper
The internet is my pepper-upper
I can go to bed early or stay up late
If I want company, I can get a date
No one hogs the covers or the bed
Or steals the pillow beneath my head
If I want to, I can, If I don’t, I don’t
Come home when I please, or if I want
Clean the house now or leave it for later
Be a lady or become a smooth operator
This is the first time I have lived alone
My husband passed away, my daughter has gone
My life is my own, it is what I make it
I get very lonesome, but I can take it
