Pretenders - Alone lyrics

Let's just hit right in on that on the one

What am I gonna do today?
Walk to the newsstand check out the war zone
Check the listings to see what's good on
Oh there's one I've been wanting to see
Anyone here up for a movie? I am

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say, "You're doing it wrong"
I'm at my best, I'm where I belong: alone
Yeah, I like it

Now I'm out crawling the streets
With the poets and the
Greeks and the deadbeats
I'm taking my time sitting on park benches
And all the glamour, it all starts down here
This is where the trends begin
Life's a canvas, and I'm on it

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say, "You're doing it wrong"
I'm at my best, I'm where I belong: alone
I like it, yeah, I like bein' alone

And the other thing I like to do
Go to the graveyard and hang out with you
Have a smoke and practise my autograph
Then sit back and re-read your epitaph
And it says "Don't you laugh as you walk by
For as you are so once was I
And as I am so you shall be
Prepare for death and follow me"
Alone, yeah, I like that i like bein' alone
Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say, "You're doing it wrong"
I'm at my best, I'm where I belong: alone
Yeah, I like it, I like being alone
What are you gonna do about it? Hm?
Absolutely fuck-all
Yeah, I'll do whatever I want
