[Intro]
Out on a limb, looking in
Pressing my face to the window
Out in the cold, freezing over my heart
As the wind blows
Every trace of light away
So heavy is the price we pay
For a little taste of happiness
And the games we play
[Chorus]
Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to live this life on my own
Got my freedom with no one to tie me down
Single woman, oh, I just need someone tonight
Only for tonight
[Verse 1]
Now, I'm through with lovin' you
And now I'm done with the cryin'
At last I see, and I realise
It wasn't worth all the tryin'
And I'm better on my own
[Chorus]
Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to love this life of my own
Got my freedom with no one to tie me down
Single woman, ah, but I need someone tonight
Only for tonight
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
You said there'd never be the crime
That cannot be resolved in time
But I won't be the one who's left behind
So I'm movin', movin' on
[Chorus]
Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to love my life on my own
Got my freedom with no one to tie me down
Single woman, oh, I just need someone tonight
Only for tonight, tonight
