Talkin' To Myself

Sittin’ on my patio
Party shoes, nowhere to go
They haven’t been out dancin’ for a while
But I don’t want to move too much
I don’t want to break up such a lovely afternoon
Until I see the moon

And it’s just me again
Perfecting the art
Of talkin’ to myself and getting by
Just talkin’ to myself and feeling better
Why?
Cause I’m gonna make it alone all right

See that couple over there
They keep secrets they don’t share
I’m telling you, I hear ‘em through the bushes
It separates their place and mine
But that’s all right; it suits me fine
Neither one approves
So both are bound to lose

And it’s just me again
Perfecting the art
Of talkin’ to myself and getting by
Just talkin’ to myself and feeling better
Why?
Cause I’m gonna make it alone all right

Oh Lord, Ma and Pa you did your best
Your kids are lent; they’re only meant to borrow
And, oh my, don’t you cry
I just need my rest
But I’ll be coming back to you sometime tomorrow

When I’m just your old friend
Perfecting the art
Of talkin’ to myself and getting by
Just talkin’ to myself and feeling better
Why?
Cause I’m gonna make it alone all right

This is where I need to be
This is what will feed me
Just a bit of quiet time
To find out what is mine
And how I’m feeling

And it’s just me again
Perfecting the art
Of talkin’ to myself and getting by
Just talkin’ to myself and feeling better
Why?
Cause I’m gonna make it alone all right
