Strawbs - I've Been My Own Worst Friend lyrics

rate me

At the gate you will wait<br />

And hesitate and you will lose<br />

I've got my life to live<br />

You must take what you make<br />

From the fake without a name<br />

I've nothing more to give.<br />

<br />

But if pleasure means money, then take it all<br />

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call<br />

I know that something always turns up in the end<br />

I've been my own worst friend.<br />

<br />

I was blind, you were kind<br />

Now I find that I was shy<br />

Nothing to do but leave<br />

I understand, it was planned<br />

Like the sand I'm high and dry<br />

I've no more dreams to weave.<br />

<br />

But if pleasure means money, then take it all<br />

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call<br />

I know that something always turns up in the end<br />

I've been my own worst friend.<br />

<br />

Like a fool, I was cool<br />

As a rule it works out fine<br />

This time it worked out wrong<br />

Now you've turned, I have learned<br />

And I've earned that which is mine<br />

Why not take me along.<br />

<br />

But if pleasure means money, then take it all<br />

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call<br />

I know that something always turns up in the end<br />

I've been my own worst friend.
