Tytuł: 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 gets you on the phone
   Not to share a pair of porkchops
   When you crave champagne and cheese
   And your aim becomes to please yourself
   And not to aim to please
   Oh they sold me when they told me
   Two can live as cheap as one
   But I'm learning twice you're earning
   Doesn't mean it's twice the fun
   If you spend your each dime and all your time
   On someone else's schemes
   I'm not needy but 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
   Is selfishness a crime?
   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.
