Lyrics

Born to Be Single

I was born to be single
And I love the way I live my life
Like a kid in a candy store
When a pretty girl walks on by
I lick my lips look over everything
Cause I can?t make up my mind
Deep down inside I get a tingle
I was born to be single

I was born to be single
From my head down to my toes
I?m like a train on a one-way track
When I see a pretty girl alone
I huff and puff and I make real good time
Till they look deep in my eyes
Cause there it is that special twinkle
I was born to be single

Ain?t nothing wrong with love and marriage
I tried myself a couple times
I lost my house and all my children
But I still have my opinion
That?s always right
I?ve got my ways
Women don?t understand
It?s easier that way
I love my life I keep it simple
I was born to be single

I was born to be single
And I?ll be that way the day I die
I?m like the moon I hang out with my friends
Almost every single night
Just Like the stars I need some company
To watch the new sunrise
I love my life I keep it simple
I was born to be single

Ain?t nothing wrong with love and marriage
I tried myself a couple times
I lost my house and all my children
But I still have my opinion
That?s always right
I?ve got my ways
Women don?t understand
It?s easier that way
I love my life I keep it simple
I was born to be single
I love my life I keep it simple
I was born to be single
