Lonely Can be Sweet

"Please come sit down

I need to set you straight

Before we go any further

I've learned from loneliness

That lonely can be better and lonely can be sweet

Sure, I dont need a man to be complete

And I also know that what I want and what I need don't always

meet

But being alone ain't all that bad

"Cause see I've been there and I've done that

I'm in the midst an evolution to myself

I was tired of the search

So I had to sit it on the shelf

Lonely can be sweet

I hab been looking for my comboy

Like that girl says in that song

"Where have all comboys gone?"

In my former life

My once comboys have gone hoochie hopping and car shopping

Riding their egos like wild horses

On collision courses with their machismo

While I slow slaughtered

As their valor and virtue drowned in deep water (deep water)

So, I decided to chill with me for the moment

And play my own violins

Strike me own candlelights

So every night is my night

Are You listening?

I need to be completely sure that You are listening

I used to think that the moon's name might as well have been

Lonely

Now I sip my night full

Like I were blackberry marsala

Then lick the excess of my lips

So as not to waste one drop of it sweetness

I sastisfy my wonderlust with with the wildness of the night

And the comfort of my self

I've taken up hedonism as hobby

And made it harder for the next man

To step into my life without plan

For how to please me better then I please myself

So If You've come without a plan

Then make a swift retreat 'cause

Lonely can be Sweet"
