It'll sneak up on you one day
and you'll finally realize
there ain't no games for you to play

and there's no place you can hide
your up against the wall
can't nobody hear you cry

you gotta help yourself yourself
or else you might as well
lay down and die


Make a move
take a step

it might hurt
it might help
it's your life

your the boss
you've already
stood the loss


And a lifetime of pretending
won't put humpty dumpty back again


Be your own best friend
be your own best friend

let the sad times in
be your own best friend


Reach way down
find your soul
take a look

take control
and really be who you are
don't look back

find your star

And put your faith

in the only one in whom you can depend

Be your own best friend

be your own best friend
let your life begin
be your own best friend
