Living On My Own Lyrics

Living On My Own lyrics

Last night I spent a night on the town 

 - mama don't know it, daddy don't know it - 

 a cocktail waitress turned me upside down 

 (then she said I'd be her lover and darling) 

  

 2 a.m. I'd board the silver train 

 - mama don't know it, daddy don't know it - 

 only to find her with her whips and chains 

 then she said I'd be her one night stand 'cos 

  

 Chorus: 

 I'm living on my own (he's living on his own) 

 out a dusk and out at dawn to wake the morning sun 

 (he's living on his own) I'm living on my own 

 (he's never going home till the night's gone) 

  

 I let the dished pile up in the sink 

 - mama don't know it, daddy don't know it - 

 don't need to justify the bathroom stink 

 (cos' I have broken out of teenage guidance) 

  

 no one left to say what I should it 

 - mama don't know it, daddy don't know it - 

 don't like vegetables only meat 

 that's why I feel like a cat in heat, yeah 

  

 this is just the way I live my life 

 I don't need a mother or a wife 'cos 

  

 Chorus 

  

 some say I'm cruel and at times I'm mean 

 - mama don't know it, daddy don't know it - 

 I'd pick up a chick to get the homeground clean 

 that's just the way that I want to be, yeah 

  

 Chorus
