Number One

Look After Number One

All my life people have told me
You’ve got to look after Number One,
You’ve got to come first in everything
And you do what has to be done.

But never in my life have I done this
Because that is not who I am,
I spend all my time trying
Not to hurt anyone if I can.

I know, you don’t have to tell me
That I’ll always end off worse,
Because I put everyone else before me
I’ve had a lot of broken hearts to nurse.

My life will always be a long way from happy
But I don’t see how I can change,
I would find it hard to live with myself
If for your unhappiness I was to blame.
