Have A Little Talk With Myself

Ray Stevens

Lately I have noticed all my friends avoidin' me
And that girl who loves me up and said goodbye
My whole world is comin' apart and fallin' in on me
And I guess deep down I know the reason why

Lately I've been livin' for nobody else but me
Lettin' my selfish ego take command
Lately I've been givin' in to pride and vanity
And I guess I let it get the upper hand

And I think it's just about time to

Have a little talk with myself
Have a little talk with myself

A little private conversation (ooh-ooh)
A little self-examination (ooh-ooh)
A little attitude correction (ooh-ooh)
A little soul-search and inspection (ooh-ooh)

Start headin' in the right direction
Take a little walk
Have a little talk with myself

La bee dee do do do do do do do do
Uh-uh-huh, la bee dee do do na na ni na na

I put importance on the wrong things in this life
And my outlook had a twisted point of view
But all you reap with vanity is a heartache and strife
Without love you just can't make it through

And I think it's just about time to

Have a little talk with myself
Have a little talk with myself

A little private conversation (ooh-ooh)
A little self-examination (ooh-ooh)
A little attitude correction (ooh-ooh)
A little soul-search and inspection (ooh-ooh)

Start headin' in the right direction
I mean, analyze it, recognize it
Itemize it, criticize it
Realize it (realize)
Organize it (organize)
Summarize it (summarize)
And ostracize it

Take a little walk, yeah
Have a little talk with myself

La bee dee do do do do do do do do
Uh-uh-huh, la bee dee do do na na ni na na

Have a little talk (ooh-ooh)
Have a little walk (ooh-ooh)
Have a little talk with myself (ooh-ooh)

I gotta, criticize it
I gotta, recognize it
And have a little walk with myself
