Oh, I live alone and like it
I'm free as the birds in the trees
I'm high above the briars
I live alone and like it
I'm doing whatever you please
When your heart desires
Free to hang around or fly at any old time

No equivocation
Most of all no guarantees
That can be your motto
Free of obligation
Only the murmuring breeze
As an obbligato
Live alone and like it
Why is that such a crime?

Free to call the tune
Free to say
If you're gonna work or play
You can have the moon
But you don't have to have it night and day
Mmm mmm
Anyway

On your own with only
You to concern yourself
Doesn't mean you're lonely
Just that you're free
Live and alonе and like it
That's the answer for mе
Don't come down from that tree
That's the answer for me
Don't come down from that
Don't come down from that
Don't come down from that
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
