Armatrading, Joan - Me Myself I Lyrics






I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself I

I wanna go to China
And to see Japan
I'd like to sail the oceans
before the seas run dry
I wanna go by myself
I've just room enough for one
Me myself I

I wanna be a bigshot
And have ninety cars
I wanna have a boyfriend
And a girl for laughs
But only on Saturdays
Six days to be alone
Just me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I

Don't wanna be the bad guy
Don't wanna make a soul cry
It's not that I love my self
I just don't want company
Except me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I

I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself I

    She got married to her girlfriend in 2011. Honestly, I didn’t know that she was gay until I saw it in a newspaper. In spite of her preferences, it still doesn’t affect her brilliance as a musician! More power to her and I hope that she continues to prosper!

  14. a.... m....

    Love this woman so much .her music makes me feel

  15. T.... O....

    https://youtu.be/73Vu0CtNHpA?t=73

  21. J.... L....

    Truly, one of the most impressive and marvelous singer-songwriters I ever heard. Chillingly good -- spine-tingling. And always satisfying. What makes her so special is that she has a unique style that sets her apart from the field. This woman rocks like hell. Her ballads should come with a box of tissues.

  22. J.... ....

    Born in St Kitts, raised in Birmingham !! Go for it Joan.

  23. C.... B....

    2018?😉

    C.... B....

  27. S.... J....

    CON SUS TEXTOS, PARECE UN OAQUITO, AUNQUE NO MUCHO, A LOS TIEMPOS DE FREDDIE MERCURY, ANTES DE QUE SALIERA DEL ARMARIO. COMO SI ESTA POR ENCIMA DE LOS GENEROS, Y NI ES HETERO, NI LESBIANA. PORQUE CANTA CON CORAZON. ES TAN BUENA, ES INCREIBLE, COMO NO HA SIDO NR. UNO EN LAS LISTAS..¿.PERO, ALLI SALEN, YA, LOS FORRDOS, NO? THEY "PLAY THE GUITAR ON THE MTV" JEJEJEJEJE <3 s. j.

  28. D.... M....

  61. R.... S....

    The drummer on this song is Anton Figg of Letterman's Late Night Band

    R.... S....

    @Robert Strang was

    w.... w....

    william weir sounds like a plan haha

  72. P.... H....

    love this track was still able to pull 

  73. G.... W....

    One of the many great songs from the 80's. (I think this came out in 1980). Yet another strong song from an independent strong woman who gave many others stregnth. Thank you Joan.

    G.... W....

    Yes,it made number 21 in the UK singles chart in July/August 1980. I used to have her previous LP with Love And Affection on it.

  74. F.... F....

    Great song!

  75. f.... h....

    Wow! I remember watching this video on a show called ROCK WORLD. This was wayyyyy back 1980 or so. Thanks.

  76. J.... B....

    COOL TUNE=COOL TIMES

  77. m.... ....

    Joan, i can't agree more. Great song, beautiful voice.  Thanks for the post.

  78. r.... ....

    my missus says this is me......................, i agree with her totally, we are now working out the details lol, for me............ i just like my own space and company

  79. p.... ....

    have a listen to the lyrics Mr "Funkhouser"... go on. I dare you.

  80. m.... ....

    First single I ever bought! Usually tell people that my first single was Stand and deliver by Adam Ant! Well we always want to be cooler than we are!!!!

  81. T.... ....

    Hardly. It's not for women who don't want a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (such as, oh, Joan herself, as distinct from the narrator). And this particular man DOES want a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (though not really straight girls, for the most part - I don't find we have much in common).

  82. D.... D....

    Been searching for this song for years, lol. had the tune but no lyrics or who had sang it, but by chance saw it on vintage tv (where have all the years gone?????)

  83. A.... D....

    just listened to "My Little Red Book" by Love and it made me think of this song...

  84. b.... s....

    So what does that mean for my 30 odd years of admiration for and love and enjoyment of this song :/ Oh well at least "every man" has got Hell's Bells and Back in Black so neh neh neh :)

  85. d.... ....

    GET A GRIP SILLY MAN END OFF. OH, MY MAGIC HAS WORKED FOR ME! PUFF YOU ARE GONE.

  86. d.... ....

    I hear ya and you are certainly not a victim you deserve the best as we all do. I feel a tad sad (not much) that i might have hurt you for you to still come back at me for my comment i can feel you have been burnt by your ex women. listen to and watch triple nipple and get your laugh on. and my astrologys never hurt me babe ever.

  87. d.... ....

    oh no.........LMAO that comment. i can picture my ex;s listening to the song - is so funny!! hah ha - sorry i know its no laughing matter. its just your victim mentality is funny to me lol.... i cant breathe......

  88. T.... ....

    And many men, too. I would like a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (though, really, I suspect Joan would prefer it the other way around, but we must never make the mistake of confusing the narrator with the author :) ).

  89. M.... ....

    She's playing the Byron Bay Bluesfest next April....already got our three day tickets....Fabulous Woman!!

  90. p.... ....

    don't be scared matey, no one minds if you don't like her politics, people may not like yours, innit?

  91. V.... V....

    A song for every Lesbian , not every Woman , like her music, not her politics ,,

    V.... V....

    Really ?

  92. V.... V....

    A song for every Lesbian , I like her Music , not her politics ,

  93. C.... ....

    You write as though she was dead - she's touring right now, so you have plenty opportunity to see her live..!! (:

  94. N.... K....

    Great song with a strong meaning being by your self so you don't get hurt by anybody and don't have to play a character that you aren't to compete with others who portray themselves as people that they certainly are not.But unfortunately it is ourselves who are being honest and true to our ideals that usually lose out.But be yourself anyway,Fuck em

  95. s.... ....

    Joan's voice reflects her soul, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

    s.... ....

    You need to get out more...lol!

  96. S.... W....

    Joan you are just too cool baby! ♥

  97. M.... S....

    I wish I could have seen this singer live, She rocks!!!!!

  98. K.... D....

    You're a goddess or my dear!

  99. K.... D....

    Te egy ISTENNŐ vagy drágám!!!!
