I Don't Know Who I Belong To (Hollaender; Robert Liebmann
One man has hands that are tender, One man's incredibly strong. To which one should I surrender? My choice is bound to be wrong. I might find my ideal lover, If I search both far and wide. Once found, I know I'll discover That I'm still not satisfied.
I don't know if I'll find the one I belong to, Or if that's who I long to find. Most people seek one love to last for a lifetime, But that's not what I have in mind. The sun and stars don't only shine on one man, They shine on whomever's their pleasure... Their light is their own. And like them I don't need any one I belong To myself, I'll be fine on my own.
Some say that love is for always, I say that love's always new God-sent, or sought out in hallways, Love's fun, but love's never true. I don't intend to be faithful, I lost all I had yesterday. Now I intend to be playful: Life's less disappointing that way.
I don't know if I'll find the one I belong to, Or if that's who I long to find. Most people seek one love to last for a lifetime, But that's not what I have in mind. The sun and stars don't only shine on one man, They shine on whomever's their pleasure... Their light is their own. And like them I don't need any one I belong to myself. I'll be fine on my own.
