Duke Ellington
I’ve Got Me
[JENNY]
When your flights of fancy start to crack up
And your light of love begins to pack up
And reality cuts you down to size
Don't cling to your illusions—get wise
There's only one who's really for you
Who'll never bore you
Who'll always adore you

Times are tough, the going's rough
Still I'm able to rise above it
'Cause I've got me

Can't depend upon a friend
Now I travel alone and love it
'Cause I've got me

I've learned most people are mean and cranky
They take your hеart and they don't say thanky
Now I'm the shy type, thе pass-'em-by type
Since I found out I was my type

Got no yacht, got no car
Got no condo in California
But I've got me
I'm really for me
I'll never bore me
Oh peace, it's marvelous
'Cause I've got me
I've done my time and I've done my duty
Y'all don't like it? Well, kiss my booty
You may be sellin' but I ain't buyin'
So hit the road and give up tryin'

Got no yen to love again
Want no two-timin' guy to grieve me
I'm fancy free
I'll never leave me
I won't deceive me
Oh peace, it's marvelous
'Cause I've got me
