Single Girl Blues
Beccy Cole Lyrics

I'm a Single Woman, what you get is what you see!
I am an independent woman and I am open and honest about who I am.

I've built a life where I am only answerin' to me
I have created a life where I don't have to answer to anyone but myself.

But still you ask about me With sympathy in mind
Despite my independence, people still ask about me with sympathetic thoughts.

you with all your boyfriends, husbands, lovers in your lives
You have multiple partners in your life, including boyfriends, husbands, and lovers.

I hate to disappoint you, but girls I've got some news
I'm sorry to let you down, but I have something to tell you.

You expect me to wollow and swallow your pity....
You expect me to wallow in self-pity and accept your sympathy.

But I ain't got the ..
But I don't have the...

Single Girl Blues...No one nigging about the dinner on time...
Being single means I don't have anyone nagging me about dinner being on time.

Single Girl Blues...Everything in this house is mine!!....
Being single means I have complete ownership and control over everything in my house.

Single Girl Blues...No one bitching about the new shoes I found....
Being single means I don't have anyone complaining about the new shoes I bought.

single girl blues...The music up and the seat stays down
Being single means I can have the music playing loud and the toilet seat stays down.

I do what I want , when I want and with who I want to, and you call that
I have complete freedom to do what I want, when I want, and with whomever I want, and you label that as...

Single Girl Blues
being a single girl and experiencing the challenges and joys that come with it.

Everybody tells me that I need someone
Everyone advises me that I need to be in a relationship.

But I'd rather do without them than to do the ones I've done
I would rather be without a partner than be with the ones I have been with before.

Cause they can't keep their hands of you, when the love is new
Because they can't keep their hands off you when the relationship is new.

When the TV's on the hands are gone, and it's all up to you
When the TV is on, they are not attentive to you, and all the responsibility falls on you.

You can have your ball and chain but it ain't the life I choose
You can have your burdensome relationship, but I choose a different way of life.

A man in your ear with his "Get me a beer" I'd rather have the....
Having a man constantly demanding things from you, like fetching him a beer, is not something I desire.

Single Girl Blues....no one nigging when the bills come in
Being single means no one nagging me when the bills arrive.

Single Girl Blues.... no one taking me for granted again
Being single means no one assuming or underappreciating me.

Single Girl Blues....no little black hairs clogging up my sink
Being single means not having to deal with someone else's hair clogging up my sink.

Single Girl Blues....nobody telling me the way I should think
Being single means not having someone telling me how to think.

I do what I want, when I want, with who I want to and you call that
I have the freedom to do whatever I please, whenever I want, and with whomever I choose, and you refer to that as...

Single Girl Blues
being a single girl and experiencing the challenges and joys that come with it.

I don't need to justify standen by no man
I don't need to explain or defend why I choose to stand alone without a man.

I got men on standby that I lay by when I can
I have men readily available for companionship whenever I desire.

All you single girls you know the truth in what I say
All the single girls understand the truth behind what I am saying.

it don't mean we're lonely, shy, celebate or gay..NO NO!
Being single doesn't mean we are lonely, shy, celibate, or gay. Absolutely not!

Now you girls who have a husband, lover or de facto
Now, you girls who have husbands, lovers, or de facto partners,

Good for you I always say, each woman to their own
I always say it's good for you, as each woman has the right to choose her own path.

But by now you should know me, there's no need to be confused
By now, you should know me well enough to not be confused.

I'm sassy and crass and a pain in the ass, but I've never had the
I may be bold, vulgar, and difficult at times, but I have never experienced the

Single Girl Blues
challenges faced by single women.

Single Girl Blues...No one nigging about the dinner on time...
Being single means not having anyone nagging me about dinner being served on time.

Single Girl Blues...Everything in this house is mine!!....
Being single means having complete ownership and control over everything in my house.

Single Girl Blues...No one bitching about the new shoes I found....
Being single means not having anyone complaining about the new shoes I discovered.

single girl blues...The music up and the seat stays down
Being single means being able to have the music volume up and the toilet seat remaining in the down position.

I do what I want , when I want and with who I want to, and you call that
I have the freedom to do whatever I please, whenever I want, and with whomever I choose, and you refer to that as...
