"Talkin' To Myself" lyrics

"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 gettin' by
Just talkin' to myself and feeling better, why
'Cause I'm gonna make it alone alright

See that couple over there
They keep secrets that don't share
I'm telling you I hear 'em through the bushes
It separates their place and mine
But that's alright it suits me fine
'Cause neither one approves
So both are bound to lose

And it's just me again, perfecting the art
Of talkin' to myself and gettin' by
Just talkin' to myself and feeling better, why
'Cause I'm gonna make it alone alright

O-la-ma and pa
You did your best
Your kids are learnt
They're only meant to borrow
And oh my, don't you cry
I just need my rest
Say I'll be gettin' back to you
Some time tomorrow

When I'm just your old friend, perfecting the art
Of talkin' to myself and gettin' by
Just talkin' to myself and feeling better, why
'Cause I'm gonna make it alone alright

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 now I'm feeling

Say it's just me again, perfecting the art
Of talkin' to myself and gettin' by
Just talkin' to myself and feeling better, why
'Cause I'm gonna make it alone alright
