Single Girl
Embracing Freedom: The Bittersweet Journey from Single Bliss to Married Realities
Lyrics
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Expressing a desire to return to the state of being a single woman.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Reiteration of the longing to be single again.
When I was single I dressed in silk so fine
Recalling the time when the speaker, as a single woman, wore luxurious silk clothing.
Now I am married, Lord
Contrasting the current married state, where the speaker wears ragged clothing.
And I wear rags all the time
Highlighting the perceived decline in the speaker's wardrobe after marriage.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Repeating the desire to return to the single status.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Reiteration of the wish to be a single woman again.
When I was single I ate cherry pie
Recalling the enjoyable experience of eating cherry pie when single.
Now I am married, Lord
Contrasting the current situation where the speaker, now married, has a less appetizing diet.
It's cornbread or die
Emphasizing the change in dietary preferences after marriage.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Expressing the desire to go back to the single life.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Repetition of the longing for singlehood.
When I was single most every day was fun
Reflecting on the carefree and enjoyable days when the speaker was single.
Now I am married, Lord
Highlighting the increased responsibilities and work after getting married.
And my work is never done
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the speaker's tasks in marriage.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Expressing a strong desire to return to the single life.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Repetition of the wish to be a single woman again.
When I was single I travelled all around
Recalling the freedom to travel extensively when the speaker was single.
Now I am married, Lord
Contrasting the current married state, where travel has become challenging.
I can't even get to town
Expressing frustration at the limitations in movement due to marriage.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Repeating the desire to return to the single life.
Lord, I wish I was a carеfree, happy
Expressing a broader longing for a carefree and happy existence as a single woman.
Single girl again
Reiteration of the desire to be a single girl again.
