I Am Free

These times would be lazy

if things weren’t so crazy

and I wasn’t longing for you,

but, that’s it for these days

I’m living my bachelor ways

and moanin’, for all I’m going through.

 

Life’s a big circus

and I find no purpose,

in paying for standing in line;

it’s just that I’m only

not happy I’m lonely

I hope I don’t run out of time.

 

I’m feeling stupid

just waiting for cupid,

to shoot a love arrow at me;

as I wait for the day

my heart wastes away

and in solitude I find that I’m free.
