Ray Stevens - Have a Little Talk with Myself lyrics

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)
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 (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)
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 (realize) organize (organize)
Summarize (summarize) ostracize it

Take a little walk (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
(Have a little talk with myself)
Yes I'm going to have to
Have a little talk with myself
(Have a little talk with myself)
A little private conversation
A little self-examination
