"Give Myself A Good Talkin' To" lyrics - DR. JOHN

Give myself a good talking to
Find out what I'm supposed to do
Ain't no reason for me to cry
Give me somebody by and by

If you don't know what you're up against
Better know what you're down for
Something worth fighting for
Better be ready to go to war
When everything you hoped for
Ain't nothing but a dream
Better hurry up and realize
Life ain't never what it seems

Give myself a good talking to
What in the world I'm supposed to do
Ain't no reason for me to cry
Give me somebody by and by

Sit down with myself
Have a nice long chat
When we're done with the conversation
We'll both know where we're at
Give myself a good talkin' to
Tell me everything but the truth
Better hurry up and realize
Life ain't what it seems

Give myself a good talkin' to
Find out what I'm supposed to do
Ain't no reason for me to cry
Get me somebody by and by

Give myself a good talkin' to
Find out what I'm supposed to do
Look in the mirror and
I'm fed up with you
Give myself a good talkin' to

Give myself a good talkin' to
Find out what I'm supposed to do
Ain't no reason for me to cry
Get me somebody by and by
Look in the mirror
I'm fed up with you
Talkin' to
