Lyrics
Music: Zina Goldrich
Lyrics: Tom Toce
IF I’M GOOD TO MYSELF
If I’m good to myself, I’ll play my music.
If I’m good to myself at all.
There are plenty of tunes I use to summon the blues…
Though they’re mostly rock songs.
If I’m good to myself, I’ll bake lasagna
And I’ll try not to speak your name,
As I’m trying to look for ways to lessen the shame.
I believed in forever.
I believed you believed the same.
I believed you’d leave me never.
You left me.
There’s the shame.
Pity, pity.
If I’m good to myself, I’ll call you someday
Just to say, hey. I’m fine. How ‘bout you?
Then I’ll say to myself, Hallelujah, you’ve won.
You know he can do no harm.
I ain’t counting my chickens, though.
Wo, wo ,wo.
No, no, no.
I love you so.
