Letras de Live Alone and Like It

I′m a one ticket gal
I'm as free as the breeze
I go where I like
And I do what I please
When I lock up my apartment
I′ve got all the keys

I'm living alone and I like it

If I want to play chin
I go out and I play chin
Come home when I want to
And when I walk in
There's no bum yelling
"Where the hell have you been?"

I′m living alone and I like it

′Cause I'm a single-bed, one-pillow mama
And there′s no papa, sober or stewed
Gonna come home and shake me
Nudge me and wake me
To get up and make whoopee
When I'm not in the mood

No man buys my dresses
No man pays for my minks
If I want a new hat
Trimmed with posies and pinks
There′s no husband yelling
"Take it off, it stinks!"
I buy it
I wear it
Little cutie, I swear it

I live alone and like it
Free as the birds in the trees
High above the briars
Live alone and like it
I do whatever I please
When my heart desires
Free to hang around or fly
At any old time

No equivocation
Most of all, no guarantees

That's my only motto
Free of obligation
Only the murmuring fleas
As an obbligato
Live alone and like it
Why is that such a crime?

I′m free to call the tune
Free to say if I'm gonna work or play
I can have the moon
But I don't have to have it night and day
Anyway, what I like is glidin′
Where the wind takes me to
Flyin′ high and hidin'
Up in a tree

Live alone and like it
That′s the answer for me

I'm free to turn the page
When the story can never be resolved
Free to disengage
If the story starts getting too involved
Problem solved on my own
With only me to concern myself
Doesn′t mean I'm lonely
Just that I′m free

I live alone and like it
That's the answer for me

And let me tell you something else
Let's just say I get tired
I get bothered, I get hot
I call on some young, tall, dark, handsome I′ve got
So it costs me a fifty or a hundred
So what?

I′m living alone
Doing just fine
Though I may be pushing eighty
I feel like sixty-nine
I'm living alone
Living alone

And I like it

Thank you. You see now that lady had it all figured out, right? She
Knew how to cope. The next song is
About a woman who is trying to cope
