Versatile verse 4

Now I know who I am and am grateful for that
No longer submitting to be a door mat

When you are older you choose your own path

When you are older you choose your own path
And so glad that you don’t have to share a bath?

You make your own bed and you lie in it

You make your own bed and you lie in it
Can choose a leopard print casket and die in it

I really dont care now Ive got to this age

I really dont care now Ive got to this age
I can either stay home, or go on the rampage

Wherever my feet, or fate, takes me I don't mind

Wherever my feet, or fate, takes me I don't mind
I'll meet all sorts of people, the cruel and the kind

Most people are interesting with a story to tell

Most people are interesting with a story to tell
So I may record my own story as well

Ive had my great moments which I wont forget

Ive had my great moments which I wont forget
The places I've been and the people I've met.

The best one of all was my secret love

The best one of all was my secret love
But I shall of needs remain silent thereof

My love was not free so I called them "friend"

My love was not free so I called them 'friend'
but romances like that don't last in the end

when we said goodbye I was free to roam

when we said goodbye I was free to roam
The affaires of my life would fill a big tome

Though each in its way was short yet sweet

Though each in its way was short yet sweet
I've yet to meet anyone that can ever compete

With the love of my life, oh how my heart breaks

With the love of my life, oh how my heart breaks
When I think back on my foolish mistakes

Sharp words may come quickly but often regretted

Sharp words may come quickly but often regretted
To those who stand by me I'll be forever indebted

Life is too short to dwell on the sorrows

Life is too short to dwell on the sorrows
You are right, it's all about our tomorrows.

Any day now something great might occur

Any day now something great might occur
I may meet another for whom I can care

Or I could win the lottery, millions of pounds

Or I could win the lottery, millions of pounds
Then I'd leap up and down in a series of bounds

But that would be good for my arthritic knee

But that would be good for my arthritic knee
Don’t think so, i’ll probably fracture it, wait and see

What could I do with two dicky knees?

What could I do with two dicky knees?
You could sit on the sofa and eat lots of cheese.

Or maybe go surfing in Cornwall one day

Or maybe go surfing in Cornwall one day
As the waves from the ocean crash into the bay

Or let the tide carry you far out to sea

Or let the tide carry you far out to sea
Be careful, you may not get home in time for tea.

And the lifeboat men might be busy elsewhere

And the lifeboat men might be busy elsewhere
Looking for others, they really do care

That ship sailed a very long time ago

That ship sailed a very long time ago
With my ex-husband on it, I'll have you know!

Some singing siren lured him right away.

Some singing siren lured him right away.
Many a good man has been led astray

So here am I, to nurse my my regrets

So here am I, to nurse my regrets
With a bottle of wine and some cigarettes

Who’ll have me now, with my hacking cough?

Who’ll have me now, with my hacking cough?
I think this is karma now having a laugh

Feeling sorry for myself simply will not do
