single woman

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

single woman

much better to be alone

single woman

i'm learning to live 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

and now i'm through with loving you

and now i'm done with the crying

at last i see and i realize

it wasn't worth all the trying

and i'm better on my own

single woman

much better to be alone

single woman

i'm learning to love this life on my own

got my freedom

with no one to tie me down

single woman

oh

but i need someone for tonight

only for tonight

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 moving. moving on

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 for tonight

only for tonight
