I ain’t desperate for your company
I don’t need no one to comfort me
The lessons that came from the day we could be
Were what I needed to set myself free

You whine about the nuts
You deal out the cuts
The ifs when whys and don’t forget a few buts
I’ve never known a time I’ve felt so such
You can guarantee no maybes that I won’t miss you much

When I turned the page to 43
I knew within a day what would come to me
When I made up my mind that on my own I could be
Something so much more than with someone like thee

You whine about the nuts
You deal out the cuts
The ifs when whys and don’t forget a few buts
I’ve never known a time I’ve felt so such
You can guarantee no maybes that I won’t miss you much

Take an airliner to Carolina and you’ll see what’s like
Take a roader to North Dakota and you’ll peak at the pike
Leave me alone I won’t moan and I’ll be out in the night.

You whine about the nuts
You deal out the cuts
The ifs when whys and don’t forget a few buts
I’ve never known a time I’ve felt so such
You can guarantee no maybes that I won’t miss you much

You climb amongst the dust
You think you’re a must
But besides your fine body you are a bust
The loving I’m giving don’t come for free
And you’re the one who is desperate for company
