Telling Myself Songtext

von Shannon and The Clams

I drove my baby cross the state
I fixed the car when it would brake
I did everything to make it easy
Even easy to leave
And my momma said
You did the right thing

I brought sweet gifts
Of other play
I cast a spell of love and pain
I did everything to make it easy
Even easy to leave
She always knew it was too late
But Oh I had her fooled
And my momma said I did the right thing

That's what I keep telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self

I called my baby everyday
So she could never get away
I did everything to make it easy
Even easy to leave
And she always knew it was too late
But Oh I had her fooled
And my momma said I did the right thing

That's what I keep telling me self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
That's what I keep telling me self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self

I did everything to make it easy
Even easy to leave
And she always knew it was too late
But Oh I had her fooled
And my momma said I did the right thing

That's what I keep telling me self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
That's what I keep telling me self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
What I keep
Telling my self
