My Own Best Friend |
| Im beginning to like you |
| But, you know that aint right |
| cause youll just twist and twist and twist |
| Till Im all crooked inside |
| Then youll take all you gave me Like it never was there |
| And I think that I might, no! |
| I know |
| Yes, I will help you there |
| cause … |
| Ive done it before |
| And Id do it again |
| cause its the only time |
| That makes me feel like im My own best friend |
| Im a victim of friction I just got too close to see |
| Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me And the lamp gets real heavy and it hangs from my heart |
| And it comes, and it goes |
| Till I cant tell the difference apart |
| But … |
| Repeat chorus |
| So many people say |
| Itll never work out that way |
| You cant stand the heat |
| While youre watching your heart |
| Just melt away in the basement |
| On a rainy day |
| La la la |
| La la la |
| La lala |
| Lalala la lalaaaaaaaaaa … |
| Theres motel in shreveport |
| Dont ask me where, please |
| They check in, they check out |
| By the light of the color t.v.s |
| And the maid calls you honey |
| And she makes your bed slow |
| And she speaks, of the sheets that dont fit |
| But you know that she knows |
| That … |
| Repeat chorus |
