lyrics

I go home alone every night
I’m not okay, I want to be alright
I’m better off, if loves out of sight
That’s why I’m flying solo

A single meal is easy to prepare
A tub of ice cream that I don’t have to share
I walk around my place in only underwear
That’s why I’m flying solo

Now you may ask me don’t you get lonesome?
And yes it’s true I do get down
But if I wanted to, I could sit here have a few
And maybe even paint the town… but I don’t want to.

Romantic strolls on my own through the park
Curl up with movies on my own after dark
I thought I’d found someone with that spark
She’s left me flying solo

Now you may ask me don’t you want someone?
All I do is think about that
It’s been so long, I haven’t had no-one
Except for Chairman Meow, the neighbour’s tabby cat.

Romantic strolls on my own through the park
Curl up with movies on my own after dark
I thought I’d found someone with that spark
It seems that I’m flying solo.
I said she’s left me flying solo.
Nothing left but to fly solo.
