SINGLES

Rupert Holmes





Singles,

you & I are singles

Strangers

trying to stay warm in the snow

Maybe

we will wake as strangers

or maybe we will find

we have somewhere to go.



Couples

all start out as singles

Lovers

like to walk alone now & then

Even

married folks act single

if they should feel the need

to find themselves again





REFRAIN x2: Singles,

all my loves were singles,

Like the dollar bills that slip away

before you even know



Music,

pourin' out on singles,

finds a home

on someone's stereo

And like a stack of singles

We'll survive as singles

Trying

hard to match one shoe with one glove



Lovers,

'cause we share the same dreams

Dreams of what the world

can't have too many of



Like singles

doubled up with love
