Domestic Bliss

To live alone and be content 
No one to tell you what to do 
Your life you feel has been well spent 
All of your desires have now come true 

A place where you can sit and share
To live alone and be content 
You make the rules decide what's fair 
No debts to pay and none are lent 

I owe to others not one cent 
Because in life I have been blessed 
To live alone and be content 
To share to help then to invest 

In those who seek to be much more
Then critic's say that life has sent 
To find someone that you adore 
To live alone and be content
