Текст Percy Sledge – Self Preservation

Love can be heartbreaking any time
It happened to me and it’s still on my mind
I remember the feeling as if it was yesterday
My heart still broken and I can’t stand the pain

Now I’m afraid to fall in love again
Cause I may be mistreated and I can’t stand the pain
So I’m gonna live my life having fun and caring for no one
Because self preservation comes first

You better stop think twice
Listen to my good advice
You know self preservation comes first

The girl I love used to be so sweet to me
But she began to run around
Putting me in a misery

Now I’m gonna live my life having fun and caring for no one
Because self preservation comes first
You got to think about yourself before you think about anyone else
You know self preservation comes first

You better stop think twice
Listen to my good advice
Because self preservation comes first
