Joe Diffie - Something I Do For Me lyrics

rate me

I work overtime cause my boss is a jerk

It gets him off my back

I go to see my momma right after work

So she knows where I'm at

Stop by my sister's and I hug her neck

Tell her just let that guy go

But there's a few things I do

When I'm all by myself

That nobody knows

1st Chorus:

It's just somethin' I do for me

Sometimes when I can't sleep

I get in my car and drive down your street

It's just somethin' I do for me

I did everything that a man could do

To try and make you smile

I couldn't keep love from slippin away

But I slowed it down a while

When you finally told me that you'd had enough

Well it broke my heart into

So I swallowed my pride

Walked out of your life

I did that for you

2nd Chorus:

But there's somethin' I do for me

Sometimes I really need

Sit in a bar drown some old memories

It's just somethin' I do for me

Bridge:

I know these things might all seem strange

But somehow they get me by

This smile on my face is hidin' the trace of teardrops

In my eyes

3rd Chorus:

It's just somethin' I do for me

Sometimes when noone sees

I talk to the man, I get down on my knees

It's just somethin' I do for me.
