I'm a happy woman I made my choice in life I chose to settle down I chose to be a wife And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth And happy home I never gave my heart Its chance to roam I could have been a sailor And sailed the seven seas The wind in my face all day Can you taste the salty breeze? I could have been a lover Watchin' waves before me part But I settled for safer harbors Of my heart I'm a lucky woman I'm the envy of my peers Never ask for favors And I never show my fears Surrounded by too many friends I am a one-man band With all the trappings of A life lived second-hand I could have been a sailor Rollin' through the night My sails before the wind And the stars my only light I could have been a dreamer But dreams just fall apart So, I settled for safer harbors Of my heart And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth And happy home I never gave my heart A chance to roam I could have been a sailor And sailed the seven seas The wind in my face all day Can you taste the salty breeze? I could have been a dreamer But dreams just fall apart So, I settled for safer harbors Of my heart I settled for safer harbors Of my heart
