I live on an island far away, all by myself, there's no one else

Nobody calls, but that's okay, don't need their help, I'm by myself

Nobody here to make a career of hurting me, deserting me

Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me



chorus:

Don't worry about my recovery, 'cause lover, you won't recover me

I'm not too low, I'm not too high, I'll get by makin' my recovery



When I go wrong as people do, there's only me to answer to

Nobody here to bring me down, no feelings I need step around

Trouble and care are waiting out there, but I'm alright, I'm safe tonight

Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me



chorus



Don't need your sympathy, save all your tears

I've lived without tenderness, for too many years

Why would I need it now



(Instrumental break)



Nobody here to make a career of hurting me, deserting me

Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me



chorus repeats out
