Out on a limb, looking in
Pressing my face to the window
Out in the cold, freezing over
My heart, as the wind blows
Every trace of light away
So heavy is the price we pay
For a little taste of happiness
And the games we play

Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to live my life on my own
Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down
Single woman, oh, I just need someone tonight
Only for tonight

And now I'm through with loving you
And now I'm done with the crying
At last I see and I realize
It wasn't worth all the trying
And I'm better on my own

Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to love this life on my own
Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down
Single woman, oh, but I need someone for tonight
Only for tonight

You said there'd never be the crime
That cannot be resolved in time
But I won't be the one who's left behind
So I'm moving... moving on

Single woman, much better to be alone
Single woman, I'm learning to love my life on my own
Got my freedom, with no one to tie me down
Single woman, oh, I just need someone for tonight
Only for tonight
