Solitude
Duke Ellington, Eddie DeLange, Irving Mills
I'm gonna hang out with myself.
I won't be in debt to anybody
Or have to worry about pushing anyone
'Cause I don't want them around.
And everybody around me has told me things that I don't believe
Seems like everyone around is pleased when I'm not happy.
I'm all alone again,
And I'm perfectly content for now.
As I dream of somewhere else,
I won't have to answer to anybody
Or have to listen to the moronic views that I hear everywhere.
As I wonder, I start to doubt that anyone would have relief
To a lie he's gonna say before I walk away
There's no use in trying to explain?
I'm all alone again,
And I'm perfectly content.
Yeah, I'm all alone again,
And I'm perfectly content for now.
