I Could Beat Myself Lyrics

oooh ahh, I'm hurting, bad

oooh ahh I'm hurting bad!



I did not see what I was supposed to see

taking it easy when a friend told me I was in

danger, so much danger.

Underestimating my woman, not taking her

out, working too hard and now she's gone off

with a stranger, someone I don't even know.



I should have taken her out, every once and a

while, taken her to dinner on the finer side, shown

her a life that was all worth while, now I guese I gotta

walk an extra mile!  I could beat myself! Ahh yeah.



Now I'm gonna feel funny out there in the crowd

when my friends all ask me, where is your woman?

long time I don't see.  Now I've got to think fast gotta

use my head, give a good story and make sure they

buy my version of the situation.



All the while I wouldn't lie I'm gonna do this once

see my reputation sinking in the distance, if they

knew the truth that really existed...then my little sanity

would be wasted! I could beat myself ahh yes..I could

beat myself!!! Ohh lord lord.



oooh ooh I'm hurting, hurting inside

oooh ooh I'm hurting



Now I really want to hear a little news now and

then, this is not what I expect to hear from my

friend I'm dissapointed.  He should realize that its

gonna destroy my position (remember I'm a name

brand) now I've gotta see....I should have held her tight

every once and a while, gotten it together on the finer style

shown her a life that was all worth while, now it seems I gotta

walk an extra mile....I could beat myself..ahh yes, I could beat myself

ooh lord...



ooh I'm hurting...

ooooh I'm hurting,hurting inside



I don't know what I wanna tell you

but I wanna tell you something real, real good yes

someting to make you

wanna shiver....
