Alfred Drake - I've Got Me

{MACHEATH}
When your flights of fancy start to crack up
And your light of love begins to pack up
And reality cuts you down to your size
Don't cling to your illusions—get wise
There's only one who's really for you
Who'll never bore you
Who'll always adore you

Times are tough, the going's rough
Still I'm able to rise above it
'Cause I've got me

Can't depend upon a friend
Still I travel alone and love it
'Cause I've got me

I've learned most people are awfully cranky
They take your heart and thеy don't say thanky
Now I'm the shy type, the pass-'еm-by type
Since I found out I was my type

Got no yen to love again
Want no two-timin' gal to grieve me
My mind is free
I'll never leave me
I won't deceive me
Oh peace, it's marvelous
'Cause I've got me
Times are tough, the going's rough
Still I'm able to rise above it
'Cause I've got me

Can't depend upon a friend
Still I travel alone and love it
'Cause I've got me

I've learned most people are awfully cranky
They take your heart and they don't say thanky
Now I'm the shy type, the pass-'em-by type
Since I found out I was my type

Got no yen to love again
Want no two-timin' gal to grieve me
My mind is free
I'll never leave me
I won't deceive me
Oh peace, it's marvelous
'Cause I've got me
