Lyrics

People say they're jealous of me
Asking all the time how I can be so lucky
And how they wish they'd never kissed the single life goodbye
And why they struggle everyday to keep from straying
They want my life, they call me a crafty little devil
They think I've got it made
That my streets are paved in golden
And I bathe in sunrays everyday
And everybody tell me not to be afraid
To gather all the harvest that the good Lord made
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
When you sleep, you sleep alone
And you can roll right to the center of the bed
And you don't have to have strength for anybody else
And you never have to shout to defend yourself
You can eat cake and even ice cream, and you can stay out really late
And you can bring home someone to make you feel special
But it's for a few hours, then they go away
And everybody tell me not to be afraid
To gather all the harvest that the good Lord made
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
When I see two people that look crazy in love
A little bit of heaven shining in their eyes
Free and single sounds as exciting as it can be
With no warning a great adventure calls, hitch a ride
Every time I think I've found that someone
I awake
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
Single life is not what it appears to be
Hope is not how fate has mapped my life for me
Don't obsess, but I'm looking real hard
It's the spice that I'm missing from the ingredients
I got freedom and the money that I work for everyday
Could buy me a color, but it won't buy me a body
I can feel the language, the language of love
That's so universal everybody can speak it when they fall in love
That's the end of lonely nights and single life
