lyrics

All around me I’m noticing a theme:
They’re all looking for, or with someone, or somewhere in between
Dating it seems is quite the thing to do
But with it comes this emotional sinewave I wish I never knew
That’s why I’m sticking with:

This singledom and it’s simplicity
Who would have known it could be so easy?
And in singledom I find my sanity
I think for now this is just what I need

Let’s be honest, there’s some things that I miss
Like knowing someone so well, or sneaking that secret kiss
But don’t you think there’s disadvantages?
Girls are expensive and time consuming - I’m busy as it is
That’s why I’m sticking with:

Yeah I’ve got this little theory, but what if it’s all wrong?
I can’t help but wonder what I’ll do when “that one” comes along
And she’s giving me this feeling that I’ve been running from
Would I just abandon all my plans of singledom?

Singledom and its simplicity
I should have known it can’t be that easy
But singledom was such a good theory
I guess right now I don’t know what I need
You tell me
