Live Alone And Like It (from Dick Tracy) Lyrics - Stephen Sondheim

Live alone and like it 

Free as the birds in the trees 

High above the briars 

Live alone and like it 

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 obligatto 

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 

Anyway, 

On your own with only 

You to concern yourself 

Doesn't mean you're lonely 

Just that you're free 

Live and alone and like it 

Don't come down from that tree. 

That's the answer for me 

That's the answer for me
