…take care of myself
My friends all say I ought to think twice
I can take care of myself
I don't need nobody's advice
You're so nice…
The next day you had on your lowest cut dress
I can take care of myself
My friends all say I ought to think twice
I can take care of myself…
…and make me a fool
But I'm a big boy and I know what to do
It might be worth it to wake up next to you
I can take care of myself
My…
Is this an addiction or is this just a repeat?
[Chorus]
I haven't been taking care of myself
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
I've gained weight…
…and I drink too much
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
I need to start taking care of myself
[Verse 2]
Distracting me from…
…taking care of myself
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Maybe that's why you…
…hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear…
…it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before…
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before…
…hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear…
…it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before…
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before…
…[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I…
…wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna…
…wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna…

From all progression in every damn direction

But I have to take care of myself
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm always gonna be one step…
