I sometimes sit and long, For the simplest of things, Someone to read the paper with And always answer when I ring Someone who'll make me cups of tea And hold me till I sleep Someone who is strong enough To be there when I weep I fool myself everyday That I'm happy on my own Put on a happy face in the public view But the story is different when I'm alone I really am a simple girl Who wants a simple life I want the happy ending And to be someone's wife Sometimes it seems these are just dreams And dreams is all they will be Because I am so awful Who'd actually want me? You can call it self pity And maybe you're right But that doesn't stop the fact I'm sleeping alone tonight Perhaps it's time to just accept That love is not for me I'm destined for loneliness I'm destined to be free However, that won't do somehow, The romantic in me Will not give up on these ideas At least not for now

Simple Things
I sometimes sit and long, For the simplest of things, Someone to read the paper with And always answer when I ring Someone who'll make me cups of tea And hold me till I sleep Someone who is strong enough To be there when I weep I fool myself everyday That I'm happy on my own Put on a happy face in the public view But the story is different when I'm alone I really am a simple girl Who wants a simple life I want the happy ending And to be someone's wife Sometimes it seems these are just dreams And dreams is all they will be Because I am so awful Who'd actually want me? You can call it self pity And maybe you're right But that doesn't stop the fact I'm sleeping alone tonight Perhaps it's time to just accept That love is not for me I'm destined for loneliness I'm destined to be free However, that won't do somehow, The romantic in me Will not give up on these ideas At least not for now
