My Own Best Friend Lyrics

I'm beginning to like you

But, you know that ain't right

'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist

Till I'm all crooked inside

You'll 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, I've done it before and I'd do it again

'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm

My own best friend

I'm a victim of friction, I got too close to see

Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me

The lamp gets real heavy, it hangs from my heart

My own best friend

So many people say, it will never work out that way

You can't stand the heat

While you're watching your heart

Just melt away in the basement on a rainy day

There's motel in Shreveport

Don't ask me where, please

They check in, they check out

By the light of the color T.V.s

The maid calls you honey

She makes your bed slow

And she speaks, of the sheets that don't fit

But you know that she knows

I've done it before and I'd do it again

'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm

My own best friend, my own best friend

My own best friend, my own best friend
