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      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, 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 got too close to see   Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me   The lamp gets real heavy, it hangs from my heart   And it comes and it goes till I can't tell the difference apart      But 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      So many people say, it will 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      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      The maid calls you honey   She makes your bed slow   And she speaks, of the sheets that don't fit   But you know that she knows      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, my own best friend   My own best friend, my own best friend
