I'll walk around
some ancient city,
write in my notebook,
and drink my tea.
Don't have to make love,
'cause love made me,
and I'll be happy
just by myself.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

I'll make my supper
'bout ten oclock,
and watch the moon rise
above my block,
and go to bed
in just my socks,
and I'll be happy
just by myself.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

And I'll go fishin'--
get with the flow.
I know a river
in Idaho.
I'll catch a big trout
and let him go,
and I'll be happy
just by myself.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

Love never made a--
a fool of me.
I always was one
as you could see.
I can't be good,
so I'll be free.
Ummm, and I'll be happy
just by myself.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.

I'll fold the laundry, just like I please.
And put the sheets on, just like I please.
And in my dreams, find sweet release.
Ummm, and I'll be happy
just by myself.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.
Happy, oh-oh-oh.
Happy, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay.
