lyrics
i was standing on the corner
i was waiting for you to show
watching the curtain for some kind of sign
in your boudoir whoa!
an hour later, i’m still standing in the cold
swinging and clinging to your hook and line
til i had to go
i’ll always be there for me
i’ll never let me down
from the mountains to the sea
i can count on me
i’ll be my own baby now
i’ll be my own from now on
i fulfill all my needs
i will depend on me
i am my own baby now
i am my own from now on
shoop shoop dee doop doop!
shoop shoop dee doop!
i tried to text you
i tried the telephone
but the party line was no party for me
just a lonely dial-tone
i’m tired of waiting
ain’t no blood left in this stone
no running and gunning can tell to me now
what i should have known
love is the game we play
and i wanna play it well
but it seems to me the rules have changed
so i’m just gonna play myself
i’ll be my own baby now
i’ll be my own from now on
i fulfill all my needs
i will depend on me
i am my own baby now
i am my own from now on
shoop shoop dee doop doop!
shoop shoop dee doop!
i’ve made all the preparations
got the ring and the rice and the candlelight
and when the moment’s right
i’ll get down on one knee
i’ll propose to me
i’ll be my own baby now
i’ll be my own from now on
i fulfill all my needs
i will depend on me
i am my own baby now
i am my own from now on
shoop shoop dee doop doop!
shoop shoop dee doop!
i was waiting for you to show
watching the curtain for some kind of sign
in your boudoir whoa!
an hour later, i’m still standing in the cold
swinging and clinging to your hook and line
til i had to go
i’ll always be there for me
i’ll never let me down
from the mountains to the sea
i can count on me
i’ll be my own baby now
i’ll be my own from now on
i fulfill all my needs
i will depend on me
i am my own baby now
i am my own from now on
shoop shoop dee doop doop!
shoop shoop dee doop!
i tried to text you
i tried the telephone
but the party line was no party for me
just a lonely dial-tone
i’m tired of waiting
ain’t no blood left in this stone
no running and gunning can tell to me now
what i should have known
love is the game we play
and i wanna play it well
but it seems to me the rules have changed
so i’m just gonna play myself
i’ll be my own baby now
i’ll be my own from now on
i fulfill all my needs
i will depend on me
i am my own baby now
i am my own from now on

shoop shoop dee doop!

Cried happy tears on the first listen. So many amazing lines. So many great musical choices. Can’t wait to hear these songs live when TMG return to the UK. The pirate’s life for me.
