Lullaby For Myself Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Self-contained and self-content 

No promises to keep 

I've got things so together 

That I just can't fall asleep 

Walked the night and drank the moon 

Got home at half-past four, 

And I knew that no-one marked my time 

As I unlocked my door. 

It's really lovely to discover 

That you like to be alone 

Not to owe your man an answer 

When he gets you on the phone 

Not to share a pair of porkchops 

When you crave champagne and cheese 

And your aim becomes to please yourself 

And not to aim to please 

Oh they sold me when they told me 

Two can live as cheap as one 

But I'm learning twice you're earning 

Doesn't mean it's twice the fun

If you spend your each dime and all your time 

On someone else's schemes 

I'm not needy but I'm greedy 

And I live my deepest dreams 

Take an hour in the shower 

Use the water while it's hot 

In the tub a hand to scrub my back 

Is all I haven't got. 

Self-aware with self-esteem 

Is selfishness a crime? 

I take the day for quite a ride 

And I take my own sweet time 

Time to spare and time to share 

And grateful I would be 

If just one damn man would share the need 

To be alone with me.
