have a little talk with myself

Singer:ray stevens

lately i have noticed all my friends avoidin' me

and that girl who loves me up and said goodbye

my whole world is comin' apart and fallin' in on me

and i guess deep down i know the reason why

lately i've been livin' for nobody else but me

lettin' my selfish ego take command

lately i've been givin' in to pride and vanity

and i guess i let it get the upper hand

and i think it's just about time to

have a little talk with myself

have a little talk with myself

a little private conversation

a little self-examination

a little attitude correction

a little soul-search and inspection

start headin' in the right direction

take a little walk

have a little talk with myself

do do do do do do do do do

uh-uh-huh do do do do do do

i put importance on the wrong things in this life

and my outlook had a twisted point of view

but all you reap with vanity is a heartache and strife

without love and friendship you can't make it through

and i think it's just about time to

have a little talk with myself

have a little talk with myself

a little private conversation

a little self-examination

a little attitude correction

a little soul-search and inspection

start headin' in the right direction

analyze it

recognize it

itemize it

criticize it

realize

organize

summarize

ostracize it

take a little walk

have a little talk with myself

do do do do do do do do do

uh-uh-huh do do do do do do

have a little talk with myself

yes i'm going to have to

have a little talk with myself

a little private conversation

a little self-examination.
