[Verse 1]
Lookin' for a lightbulb to switch on
But I'm starin' at the wires hangin' from the ceiling
I can't fix it
By sittin' here on my own
Got a dozen ideas and a hundred more
Like the pile of shoes that have never been worn
I need affiromation from waiting for a lightbulb

[Pre-Chorus]
How many people does it take to turn it all around?
And I'm sure there's many ways, but if there's no one to help me

[Chorus]
I-I-I'll do it myself
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start
I-I'll do it myself
Who's it gonna be? (Oh)
Is it you or me?
I'll do it myself
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start (To make a start)
I-I'll do it myself

[Verse 2]
D.I.Y.'s not my game
'Cause I'd rather die than take the blame
I'm not a rocket scientist
I've never been that good at this
Tell me a joke and I try to laugh
And if it ain't funny, well, that's too bad
You know it's not comedy
Baby, if the joke's on me
[Pre-Chorus]
How many people does it take to turn it all around?
And I'm sure there's many ways, but if there's no one to help me

[Chorus]
I-I-I'll do it myself (do it myself)
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start
I-I'll do it myself (I'll do it myself)
Who's it gonna be? Is it you or me?
I'll do it myself
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start
I-I'll do it myself, mmm

[Bridge]
I'll take the stop signs
Turn, turn 'em all green
I'll patch the holes up and I'm mending the seams
Take the hands off the clock, change the batteries
If it's down to this, then it's up to me

[Chorus]
I'll do it myself
Oh, I'll do it myself
Oh, I'll do it myself
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start
I-I'll do it myself (Do it myself, oh)
Who's it gonna be? Is it you or me?
I'll do it myself (I'll do it myself)
Couldn't be that hard just to make a start (Do it myself)
I-I'll do it myself (Yeah)
Just to make a start, I'll do it myself
