[Verse 1]
You say I should lighten up
Loosen up and have some fun
All the other girls are doing that
You say I should just sell out
Show a little skin, find a famous boyfriend
I could clean up doing that
[Chorus]
I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing
Thank you very much
I'm marching on with my one-man band
And I'm beating myself up
I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing
Thank you very much
I'm marching on with my one-man band
And I'm beating myself up
[Bridge]
But isn't it something to want someone
And isn't it something to love someone
And isn't it something to need someone
With nothing to fall back on
[Verse 2]
You say I should lighten up
Loosen up and have some fun
All the other girls are doing that
You say I should just sell out
Show a little skin, find a famous boyfriend
I could clean up doing that
[Chorus]
I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing
Thank you very much
I'm marching on with my one-man band
And I'm beating myself up
I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing
Thank you very much
I'm marching on with my one-man band
And I'm beating myself up
