From the recording Night Bloom
Lyrics
I have friends who think it’s crazy
That I dine at a table for one
And I sleep alone in my great big bed
By now I should have found someone
They say girl, you don’t get it
How ya gonna ever get laid
How ya gonna ever find a man
Layin’ around in your pajamas all day
I said, I like my peace and quiet
I put my stuff where I please
And if it makes me happy to live alone
Why can’t you just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be me
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Let me be me
They say they’re sorry, but they love me
And this is what it takes
To save me from poor choices
And making big mistakes
I said, I don’t have to share my closet
I come and go as I please
And I’m fine with all my choices
Just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be me
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Let me be me
I bring home the bacon
I fry it in the pan
And I’ve never wasted precious time
Waiting for a man
Let me be, let me be, let me be me
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Let me be me
Let me be, oh let me be, let me be me
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Let me be me
