[verse 1]

You packed your bags an' slammed the door,

I'll take that as a no, an' that you'd rather go.

Fine, you're a big girl now, do as you please,

it's a one way street, so I hope you left the keys.

[verse 2]

Another duvet instead, of you in my bed,

plenty of room, I plan to fill real soon.

Won't even notice, that you've gone,

no need to sleep, with a night light on.

[chorus]

I'm single, in my double bed tonight,

no more lyin', with our legs entwined.

I can sleep in, till the crack of noon,

drink breakfast in bed, if I feel inclined.

[verse 3]

Get rid, of those stupid day cushions,

hospital corners, a thing of the past.

Hello Kitty, and Barbie Doll sheets,

open bottom, I like to feel my feet.

[chorus]

I'm single, in my double bed tonight,

no more lyin', with our legs entwined.

I can sleep in, till the crack of noon,

drink breakfast in bed, if I feel inclined.

[verse 4]

Better clear out, the bedside stand, in case,

someone stays over, an' gets the wrong idea.

Clear the fridge, of old face masks,

the health drinks, get a new beer cask.

[chorus]

I'm single, in my double bed tonight,

no more lyin', with our legs entwined.

I can sleep in, till the crack of noon,

drink breakfast in bed, if I feel inclined.

[bridge]

I'm lonely, in my double bed tonight,

miss the feel, of a body next to me.

Wishin', there's someone else who cares,

here to share, my moments of delight.

[final chorus]

I'm single, in my double bed tonight,

no more lyin', with our legs entwined.

I can sleep in, till the crack of noon,

drink breakfast in bed, if I feel inclined.

[outro]

Sunlight wakes me, I've got an' achin' head,

I forgot to close over the curtain.

Weigh the pros an' cons, I'm not certain,

it's better to stay single, in a double bed.

Comments

  • This works well. Lovely title and hook.

    I like the "I'm better off without you" vibe and the various references to feminine touches.

    "drink breakfast in bed" is a lovely phrase that almost passes unnoticed!

    The bridge does the reveal that he's really lonely, and does it well. I think you could alternately just hint it, "if I felt inclined" that sort of thing, but it's fine as is.

    Not sure AI has quite nailed the music, but it's easy to see how this snuggles down in the Country genre.

    Good stuff.
