I said that I felt jailed up
As if our doors were nailed up
I said I needed separate places,
Parties, room to move around in.
I said I needed my fling
Had to get out and do some other thing.
It took me months to calculate
That I had nothing left without you-
(Chorus)
Dan, my fling is all flung out
Now I’ve got to fall back on dreams
I thought I’d try and write you
I thought I’d try and phone you
I thought I’d try to tell you
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
But you’d just mile to please me
You’d shake your head, you’d tease me —
Remind me it was I who first claimed
That we both required freedom
