I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night But this time I sure won't worry about what I might have done 'Cause I was out to please myself, Right or wrong.
You came in, looking like a long lost sheep, Said I've been using you You got what you wanted, and that's alright But you were out to please yourself Right or wrong Ummmmm yeah you were out to please yourself Right or wrong.
Don't hang your head down, there ain't no shame In what we've both been through Although I'd like to help you out You know I've got to save myself Right or wrong Ummmmm you know I've got to save myself Right or wrong.
When you go back, you know you're gonna have to look your best You're gonna have to turn on the magic Make believe it's real You're gonna have to save yourself Right or wrong Ummmmm yeah we were out to please ourselves Right or wrong Yeah we were out to please ourselves.
(fade) Yeah please yourself please yourself Right or wrong yeah please yourself
Over My Head version
I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night But this time I sure won’t worry about what I might have done ‘Cause I was out to please myself, Right or wrong.
You came in, looking like a long lost sheep, Said I’ve been using you You got what you wanted, and that’s alright But you were out to please yourself Right or wrong Ummmmm yeah you were out to please yourself Right or wrong.
Don’t hang your head down, there ain’t no shame In what we’ve both been through Although I’d like to help you out You know I’ve got to save myself Right or wrong Ummmmm you know I’ve got to save myself Right or wrong.
Shake me when you’re leavin’ in the morning Pack up your bags while I open my eyes I know you’re gonna wake me in the morning Say bye bye and I’ll be loving you.
When you go back, you know you’re gonna have to look your best You’re gonna have to turn on the magic Make believe it’s real You’re gonna have to save yourself Right or wrong Ummmmm yeah we were out to please ourselves Right or wrong Yeah we were out to please ourselves.
(fade) Yeah please yourself please yourself Right or wrong yeah please yourself
