lyrics

Selfish Bachelor

I don’t have a wife
and I don’t have a husband.
I don’t have any children I know of.

I don’t have a life
and I don’t have a band anymore,
or many friends to speak of.

I’ve had too much time just pleasing myself;
Now I am too stuck to please anybody else.

I’m a selfish bachelor
with only myself to blame
for another night slumped on the sofa,
but I do know being loved,
like I know being alone.

I was free to do anything,
so I didn’t know where to begin.
You try to take it all in
and you wind up with nothing,
but I do know being loved like I know being alone.

I get up when I want to,
eat breakfast in my dressing gown.
We can’t all be as glamorous as you.
Put jokes in the chorus
to make it less serious,
but the pay-off line always rings true.

I don’t have a wife
and I don’t have a husband.
I don’t have any children I know of.

I don’t have a life
and I don’t have a band anymore,
but I’ve got all these songs.
