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 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
