"Portrait" lyrics

People tell me that I shouldn't worry
Mama reminds me that love doesn't hurry
She says go get the fish in the sea
No way you will end up lonely
You're gonna be scooped up, you see
True love don't come by one time only

But I don't want no-one new
Take it from me, there's no other you
I don't believe there's a love like you out there for me
And then I'd rather be lonely
The portrait I painted of me
Was meant for your eyes only
Only you

Will it wither if I keep it covert
If my days as a lover are over
Will I find peace, though I know
That this head will not rest on your shoulder
And will I stay warm
When the nights just get colder and colder

And I don't want no-one new
Take it from me, there's no other you
I don't believe there's a love like you out there for me
And then I'd rather be lonely
The portrait I painted of me
Was meant for your eyes only
Only you

I don't want no-one new
Take it from me, there's no other you
I don't believe there's a love like you out there for me
And then I'd rather be lonely
The portrait I painted of me
Was meant for your eyes only
Only you
