Rupert Holmes — Lullaby for Myself

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
