My Own Best Friend Lyrics - Common Sense - John Prine

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 

Then 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 ... 

Chorus 

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 just got too close to see 

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

And the lamp gets real heavy and it hangs from my heart 

And it comes, and it goes 

Till I can't tell the difference apart 

But ... 

Repeat Chorus 

So many people say 

It'll 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 

La la la 

La la la 

La lala 

Lalala la lalaaaaaaaaaa ...

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 

And the maid calls you honey 

And she makes your bed slow 

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

But you know that she knows 

That ... 

Repeat Chorus
