Lyrics
Learning to be Single Again
(c) 1984, 2003 by Fletcher M. Johnson
CHORUS
It's funny how the lines come out all wrong
It's funny how the drinks come out too strong
It's funny how I cry when I hear our song
But I'm learning to be single again.
I do the dishes after I cook my meals
I go to the shoe shop when I'm down in the heels
It's funny how I don't seem to have any friends
But I'm learning to be single again.
It's the same sad song
and it's never wrong.
But it's never been right for me.
Years of building torn down in a minute.
By a single "I don't love you, don't you see."
The night she packed up and left me.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
She had told me so many stories.
I wouldn't believe her lies.
REPEAT CHORUS
I took all the clothes you left down to the Goodwill.
When I look at your picture I still get a cold chill.
I can finally look at another woman and realize it's not a mortal sin.
'Cause I'm learning to be single again.
REPEAT CHORUS
