SELF
SABOTAGE ©1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) I try my patience, I drive me nuts I try my patience, I drive me nuts (Chorus) Whenever things are going real fine, it's then I make them hard I'm just getting real damn good at the fine art of self sabotage Desparately needing sleep - I am the nagging thought Putting pen to paper - I am the writer's block Skipping down the street - I'm the gaping sewer hole Trying to be the perfect guest - I am the flush that overflows Whenever things ... Relatives are coming - I am the messy house Trying so hard to be polite - I'm the foot that's in my mouth Just enough time to get to work - I am a real flat tire Standing in the grocery line - I'm the triple coupon that just expired Did I acquire this learned behavior While in some trance at school Am I a double agent whe owes a favor To some despot whose humor in cruel Self sabotage Self sabotage ... I try my patience, I drive me nuts I try my patience, I drive me nuts Trying to shed some pounds - I'm a quart of rich egg nog Needing to pass this test - I am the homework-eating dog Up here patching the roof - I'm the storm that came too soon In the middle of playing this song - I am the string that's out af tune How did this habit get so integrated It's like someone gave my brain a hard twist Could it be that I'm a victim who's deeply hated By a maniacal, vengeful hypnotist Self sabotage - Yeah, it's me that tries my patience - and It's me that's driving me nuts - I'm gonna get me for this |
