[VERSE]
If I want to be alone, that's up to me...
If it's late when I come home...
there's no third degree...
I can do what I want, when I want, with anyone I choose...

And in the end...There's no one who I answer to...

It's no longer you!

[HALF CHORUS]
BY MYSELF...
I'M LIVING HERE ALL BY MYSELF...
BY MYSELF...

AND NO ONE ELSE!

I am free, of society...
No more trappings of the past...
Just peace at last...
and my guitar and dog as it should be...

Maybe add a horse to that mix!

[VERSE]
You always looked to me for our life's pleasure...
I tried but I always felt pressured...
The dress, the talk, the way I would walk...
I am not your doll...
I said let's face the truth, it's no use,, we're beyond repair.
You can't make love out of thin air...

I am not your cookie cutter wash an wear barbie...
perfect hostess for all your damn parties...
sex toy for when you wanna...
clean up it all as you leave!

[CHORUS}
BY MYSELF...
I'M LIVING HERE ALL BY MYSELF...
BY MYSELF...
AND NO ONE ELSE...
I am free, of society...
No more trappings of the past...
Just peace at last...
and my guitar and dog as it should be...

Maybe add a horse to that mix!

I am not your cookie cutter wash an wear barbie...
perfect hostess for all your damn parties...
sex toy for when you wanna...
clean up it all as you leave!

Maybe add a horse to that mix!

let's face the truth, it's no use,, we're beyond repair.
You can't make love out of thin air...

I am not your cookie cutter wash an wear barbie...
perfect hostess for all your damn parties...
sex toy for when you wanna...
clean up it all as you leave!

Maybe add a horse to that mix!

[VERSE]
[Outro]

let's face the truth, it's no use,, we're beyond repair.
You can't make love out of thin air...

[Fading vocals]
By Myself!
I’M LIVING HERE ALL BY MYSELF...
BY MYSELF...
And no one else! (No one else)
I’M completely carefree...

carefree...

My guitar and dog as it should be...

Thanks!! That's all me. I took a male lyric from Richard and Doug and rewrote and added all of the female viewpoints. I love how it came out. Doug liked how it came out too! I am excited about it.
