Lyrics Rupert Holmes – Lullaby For Myself

Self-contained,
And self-content…
No promises to keep.
I’ve got things so together-

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.

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.
