Single Girl Blues

I'm a single woman, what you get is what you see

I built a life where I am only answering to me

But still you ask about me with sympathy in mind

You and all your boyfriends, husbands, lovers in your lives

I hate to disappoint you, but girls, I've got some news

You expect me to wallow and swallow your pity but I ain't got the

Single girl blues

No more nagging 'bout the dinner on time

Single girl blues

Everything in this house is mine

Single girl blues

Nobody bitching 'bout the new shoes I found

Single girl blues

The music's up and the seat stays down

I do what I want, when I want, with who I want to

And you call that single girl blues

Everybody tells me that I need someone

But I'd rather do without them than to do the ones I've done

'Cause they can't keep their hands off you when the loving's new

Then the TV's on, the hands are gone and it's all up to you

You can have your ball and chain, but it ain't the life I choose

A man in your ear with his "Get me a beer," but I'd rather have the

Single girl blues

No more nagging when the bills come in

Single girl blues

No one taking me for granted again

Single girl blues

No little black hairs clogging up my sink

Single girl blues

Nobody telling me the way I should think

I do what I want, when I want, with who I want to

And you call that single girl blues

I don't need to justify stealing fine old men

I got men on standby that I lay by when I can

All you single girls, you know the truth in what I say

It don't mean we're lonely, shy, set up in our game, no, no

Now you girls who have a husband, lover or de facto

Good for you, I always say, each woman to their own

But by now you all should know me, there's no need to be confused

I'm sassy and crass and a pain in the ass, but I'll never have the

Single girl blues

No more nagging 'bout the dinner on time
