Текст Beres Hammond – I Could Beat Myself

Oooh ahh, I’m hurting, bad
Oooh ahh I’m hurting bad!

I did not see what I was supposed to see
Taking it easy when a friend told me I was in

I should have taken her out, every once and a
While, taken her to dinner on the finer side, shown
Her a life that was all worth while, now I guese I gotta
Walk an extra mile! I could beat myself! Ahh yeah.

Now I’m gonna feel funny out there in the crowd
When my friends all ask me, where is your woman?
Long time I don’t see. Now I’ve got to think fast gotta
Use my head, give a good story and make sure they
Buy my version of the situation.

All the while I wouldn’t lie I’m gonna do this once
See my reputation sinking in the distance, if they
Knew the truth that really existed… then my little sanity
Would be wasted! I could beat myself ahh yes… I could
Beat myself! Ohh lord lord.

Oooh ooh I’m hurting, hurting inside
Oooh ooh I’m hurting

Now I really want to hear a little news now and
Then, this is not what I expect to hear from my
Friend I’m dissapointed. He should realize that it’s
Gonna destroy my position (remember I’m a name
Brand) now I’ve gotta see… I should have held her tight
Every once and a while, gotten it together on the finer style

Ooh I’m hurting…
Ooooh I’m hurting, hurting inside

I don’t know what I wanna tell you
But I wanna tell you something real, real good yes
Something to make you
Wanna shiver…
