Rupert Holmes - Lullaby for Myself lyrics
[Rupert Holmes - Lullaby for Myself lyrics]
Self-contained and self-content
No promises to keep
I've got things so together
That I just can't fall asleep
Walked the night and drank the moon
Got home at half past four
And I knew that no one marked my time
As I unlocked my door
It's really lovely to discover
That you like to be alone
Not to owe your man an answer
When he rings the bedroom phone
Not to share a pair of pork chops
When you crave champagne and cheese
And your aim becomes to please, yourself
And not to aim to please
Oh, he sold me when he told me
"Two can live as cheap as one"
But, I'm learning twice your earning
Doesn't mean it's twice the fun
If you spend each dime and all your time
On someone else's schemes
Now I'm needy so I'm greedy
And I live my deepest dreams take an hour
In the shower use the water while it's hot
In the tub a hand to scrub my back
Is all I haven't got
Self-aware with self-esteem
No lemon in my lime
I take the day for quite a ride
And I take my own sweet time
Time to spare and time to share
And grateful I would be if just one damn man
Would share the need to be alone with me
No promises to keep
I've got things so together
That I just can't fall asleep
Walked the night and drank the moon
Got home at half past four
And I knew that no one marked my time
As I unlocked my door
It's really lovely to discover
That you like to be alone
Not to owe your man an answer
When he rings the bedroom phone
Not to share a pair of pork chops
When you crave champagne and cheese
And your aim becomes to please, yourself
And not to aim to please
Oh, he sold me when he told me
"Two can live as cheap as one"
But, I'm learning twice your earning
Doesn't mean it's twice the fun
If you spend each dime and all your time
On someone else's schemes
Now I'm needy so I'm greedy
And I live my deepest dreams take an hour
In the shower use the water while it's hot
In the tub a hand to scrub my back
Is all I haven't got
Self-aware with self-esteem
No lemon in my lime
I take the day for quite a ride
And I take my own sweet time
Time to spare and time to share
And grateful I would be if just one damn man
Would share the need to be alone with me
