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
