Like A Good Book Or Fine Wine

I thought all along I'd be happy to be

a fun-loving girl with someone caring for me

I'd have my lover convinced; I hung the stars in the sky

we would build us a home worth more than money could buy

Turns out what I'm good at is being lonely

like a misguided raindrop who misplaced the sea

I've got plenty to give, they won't take it for free

it's a pretty tough place in the world to be

No, don't feel bad for me, I got myself here

I've worked through those tough times I wanted to disappear

And I've designed me a world that suits me just fine

it took a whole lot of courage and effort to try

So, here I stand humbly, my heart in my hand

no longer having to prove that I don't need a man

No, I've let that pain go and I see much clearer now

relationships are grand and don't need taking a vow

To be something special and enlighten the soul

I just needed to relax and remember I'm in control

Of what finds its way past the eyes to the heart

no longer playing the game, simply playing it smart

As I settle into a new phase of my life

not based on being single or being a wife

But being a person content with herself

a unique best seller, repelling dust, on the shelf
