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
