Have a Little Talk with Myself
Lately I have noticed all my friends avoidin' me
And that girl who loves me up and said goodbye
My whole world is comin' apart and fallin' in on me
And I guess deep down I know the reason why
Lately I've been livin' for nobody else but me
Lettin' my selfish ego take command
Lately I've been givin' in to pride and vanity
And I guess I let it get the upper hand
And I think it's just about time to
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
A little private conversation
A little self-examination
A little attitude correction
A little soul-search and inspection
Start headin' in the right direction
Take a little walk (take a little walk)
Have a little talk with myself
Do do do do do do do do do
Uh-uh-huh do do do do do do
I put importance on the wrong things in this life
And my outlook had a twisted point of view
But all you reap with vanity is a heartache and strife
Without love and friendship you can't make it through
And I think it's just about time to
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
A little private conversation
A little self-examination
A little attitude correction
A little soul-search and inspection
Start headin' in the right direction
Analyze it, recognize it
Itemize it, criticize it
Realize (realize)
Organize (organize)
Summarize (summarize)
Ostracize it
Take a little walk (take a little walk)
Have a little talk with myself
Do do do do do do do do do
Uh-uh-huh do do do do do do
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
Yes I'm going to have to
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
A little private conversation
A little self-examination...
