lyrics

I guess the truth is
I need my time alone
I’m not shy or timid
Solitude runs deep in my bones

I want a quiet life
Lived quietly
With just my baby
And my baby and me

I read a lot of books
Never go out at night
You may not hear about me
And that’s really all right

I wouldn’t trade
All my privacy
For any amount of
Fame and glory

So I hope that you’re not waiting for me
To turn into something that I’ll never be
I’ll never be
I’ve never wanted to be

It’s not that I don’t trust
Your advice per se
But I’ve become too fond
Of doing things my own way

It’s taken me
A long, long time to see
That most of your rules
Need not apply to me

So I hope that you’re not waiting for me
To turn into something that I’ll never be
I’ll never be
I’ve never wanted to be
Something that I will never be
Will never be
I’ve never wanted to be
And I won’t make the mistake of thinking
that would make me happy
