A Room Of Our Own Lyrics
You've got diamonds and
I've got spades
You've got pills
And I've got razor blades
You've got yoga honey
I've got beer
You got overpriced
And I got weird
But it's alright
We're the same even though we're alone
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
You've got love, darlin'
I've got sex
You've got cash, mama
And I've got checks
You've got business, baby
I've got the kids
You got crowded just the way I did
But it's alright
Cause we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
I can still remember packed together
Like a can of sardines
No, no, no
Pushin', shovin'
That's when lovin'
Starts to come apart at the seams
Oh no, no, no, no
You've got the day shift
I've got nights
We go wrong at times
But we've got rights
You've got TV shows
I've got crime
But you've got your room honey
And I've got mine
It's alright
It's the one thing that we should have known
Yes, it's alright
Yes, we all need a room of our own
And it's alright
Yes we all need a place to call home
It's alright
It's alright
To have a room of your own
No, no, no, it's alright
Yeah it's alright mama
To have a room of our own
Sometimes you've got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away to a room of our own
Got to have a room
Got to have a little elbow room of my own
I've got spades
You've got pills
And I've got razor blades
I've got beer
You got overpriced
And I got weird
We're the same even though we're alone
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
I've got sex
You've got cash, mama
And I've got checks
I've got the kids
You got crowded just the way I did
Cause we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
Like a can of sardines
No, no, no
That's when lovin'
Starts to come apart at the seams
Oh no, no, no, no
You've got the day shift
I've got nights
We go wrong at times
But we've got rights
I've got crime
But you've got your room honey
And I've got mine
It's the one thing that we should have known
Yes, it's alright
Yes, we all need a room of our own
Yes we all need a place to call home
It's alright
It's alright
To have a room of your own
Yeah it's alright mama
To have a room of our own
Sometimes you've got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away to a room of our own
Got to have a little elbow room of my own

great song! the version on 12 Gardens Live (which is a hidden track) blows the album version away.
This song tells me that BJ should have never been married. At least to a woman. I think they put him into terrible distress and fall. And I am not kidding.
I think it means that the couple has grown apart so far that they might as well be divorced, even if they aren't already. He's saying 'it's alright'.
Billy Joel has stated this is his Beatles tribute, he wanted it to sound like John Lennon. Do you remember John and Oko's sleep in for peace? they stayed in bed in a hotel room, John and Yoko You got yoga honey I got beer its John singing to Yoko maybe I'm wrong but thats what I get from it.
