Single Woman - Mary Hopkin

Out on a limb, looking in

Pressing my face to the window

Out in the cold, freezing over

My heart, as the wind blows

Every trace of light away

So heavy is the price we pay

For a little taste of happiness

And the games we play

Single woman, much better to be alone

Single woman, I’m learning to live my life on my own

Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down

Single woman, oh, I just need someone tonight

Only for tonight

And now I’m through with loving you

And now I’m done with the crying

At last I see and I realize

It wasn’t worth all the trying

And I’m better on my own

Single woman, much better to be alone

Single woman, I’m learning to love this life on my own

Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down

Single woman, oh, but I need someone for tonight

Only for tonight

You said there’d never be the crime

That cannot be resolved in time

But I won’t be the one who’s left behind

So I’m moving… moving on

Single woman, much better to be alone

Single woman, I’m learning to love my life on my own

Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down

Single woman, oh, I just need someone for tonight

Only for tonight
