My Own Worst Enemy
In the rosesIn the springI rememberThere was a timeI wasn’t afraid of anythingBut with the lilacsAnd the rainOne day you went awayI rememberI forgot everything
My mother’s always trying to tell meHow to be grateful, how to believeMy father’s always trying to sayBaby, you’re beautiful in every wayMy lover’s always got me in his armsTrying to protect me, keep me from harmSo why do I always have to beMy worst, my own worst enemy
In the shadows, in the graceIn the lonelyThere is a placeWhere we can all hide awayBut in the windows of the soulThere is nowhere we can goIf we keep runningRunning from our destiny
My mother’s always trying to tell meHow to be grateful, how to believeMy father’s always trying to sayBaby, you’re beautiful in every wayMy lover’s always got me in his armsTrying to protect me, keep me from harmSo why do I always have to beMy worst, my own worst enemy
You say I walk on waterYou say I walk on the moonBut it’s never enough(No it’s never enough, no it’s never enough)You say I’m only humanIt’s all in my headBut it’s never enough(no it’s never enough no it’s never enough)One day I’ll findMy alibi
My mother’s always trying to tell meHow to be grateful, how to believeMy father’s always trying to sayBaby, you’re beautiful in every wayMy lover’s always got me in his armsTrying to protect me, keep me from harmSo why do I always have to beMy worst, my own worst enemy
