SINGLES LIFE

 

I'll sit at the back right over here

Then no one will see my angst or fear

​

Of taking this the first giant step

Into the singles life, but I bet

 

Nobody here feels at all like me

They are far too happy and carefree

​

Everyone seems to know each other

I'll sit still then no one will bother

 

Or wonder who's that right at the back

Dressed for a funeral all in black

​

I won't stay long just for a while

Won't need to talk then or to smile

 

That man over there's staring at me

What shall I do oh please let him see

​

I really don't belong in this group

If he comes over I'm in the soup

 

Oh why did I say I'd come tonight

Just watching TV for me is all right

​

I'm back at work now able to be

A sharp efficient business lady

 

Learnt how to play the cards I was dealt

Dependant on no one but myself

​

At times almost happy to be free

But is that only me kidding me

 

I do wish my friends and family

Would give up trying and let me be

​

All because now I'm living alone

And no man calls me on the phone

 

They think I'm letting life pass me by

That all I do is sit home and cry

​

But I change plugs and can mend a fuse

Know which type of screwdriver to use

​

I've got the dog two fish and a cat

I can't see anything wrong with that

​

What if my life's all work and no play

I'm happy just getting through each day

​

My God he's coming over to me

What shall I say I hope he can't see

​

My shaking hands and my throat's dry too

How I wish that I could sink right through

​

The floor, or that he'd just disappear

Oh why did I agree to come here

​

Just to get the do-gooders off my case

Hang on he's really got a nice face

​

Maybe I will stop here for a while

And would it hurt to give him a smile
