Bad Self Portraits

I bought this camera

To take pictures of my love

Now that he's gone

I don't have anybody to take pictures of

A lonesome highway

Is a pretty good subject

I'm gonna make myself make use of this thing

I'm taking landscapes

I'm taking still lifes

I'm taking bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

I've spent my life

So lost on lovin'

I could have been a painter or a president

But after 25 years

I should be good at something

Gone are the days of me being so reticent

I'm taking night classes

I'm making sculptures

I'm painting bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

Whoo oo oo

Whoo oo oo

I bought this camera

To take pictures of my love

Now that he's gone

I don't know what to do with this thing, well

I don't care about the time or money

I just never thought that I'd be

Through with this love

Stuck taking landscapes

Stuck taking still lifes

Stuck making sculptures

I'm out here taking bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

Bad self portraits of a lonely girl

Sad self portraits of a lonely woman

Whoo oo oo ooh yeah

Oh oh

Whoo oo oo
