One thing I know and I've always known   I am my own best friend   Baby's alive but baby's alone   And baby's her own best friend      Many's the kind   Who told me he cares   But they were scratchin' my back   'Cause I was scratchin' theirs      And trusting too, that's only for fools   I play in a game where I make the rules   And rule number one from here to the end   Is I am my own best friend   I am my own best friend      Baby's her own best friend   Three musketeers who never said die   Are standing here this minute   Me, myself, and I      Life is a school, I'll pass every test   If life is a game, I'll play it the best   'Cause I won't give in and I'll never bend   And I am my own best friend
