Could this be an arm around my waist?
Well, surely the hand contains a knife?
It's been so all of my life
Why change now? It hasn't!

Now this might surprise you, but
I find I'm OK by myself
And I don't need you
Or your morality to save me
No no no no no

Then came an arm around my shoulder
Well surely the hand holds a revolver
It's been so all of my life
Why change now? It hasn't!
Now this might disturb you but
I find I'm OK by myself
And I don't need you
Or your benevolence to make sense
No... no... No... no!

After all these years I find I'm OK by myself
And I don't need you
Or your homespun philosophy
No no no no

This might make you throw up in your bed
I'm OK by myself and I don't need you
And I never have, I never have
No... no... No... no!
