             I know it's wrong, so what should I do.

The finest day, that I've ever had, Was when I learned, to cry on command.

Love myself, better than you! I know it's wrong, so what should I do...

    I'm on a plain.          aaaah, aaaah...

    I can't complain.        aaaah, aaaah...

    I'm on a plain.          aaaah, aaaah...

My mother died, every night.   It's safe to say, don't quote me on that.

Love myself, better than you! I know it's wrong, so what should I do...

  The blacksheep got blackmailed again.  Forgot to put, on the zip code.

  Love myself, better than you! I know it's wrong, so what should I do..

[Chorus REPEAT]

  Somewhere I have heard this before...

  In a dream my memory has stored...

  In defense I'm neutered and sprayed...                    |||||||||||||||

  What the hell am I trying to say...                          P. M. 

It is now time, to make it all clear. To write off lines, that don't make any sense.

And one more special, message to go.  And then I'm done, and I can go home.

Love myself, better than you! I know it's wrong, so what should I do...

[Chorus - Fade out towards the end.]
