I Could Beat Myself - Beres Hammond

Oooh ahh, I’m hurting, bad

Oooh ahh I’m hurting bad!

I did not see what I was supposed to see

Taking it easy when a friend told me I was in

Danger, so much danger

Underestimating my woman, not taking her

Out, working too hard and now she’s gone off

With a stranger, someone I don’t even know

I should have taken her out, every once and a

While, taken her to dinner on the finer side, shown

Her a life that was all worth while, now I guese I gotta

Walk an extra mile!

I could beat myself!

Ahh yeah

Now I’m gonna feel funny out there in the crowd

When my friends all ask me, where is your woman?

Long time I don’t see.

Now I’ve got to think fast gotta

Use my head, give a good story and make sure they

Buy my version of the situation

All the while I wouldn’t lie I’m gonna do this once

See my reputation sinking in the distance, if they

Knew the truth that really existed… then my little sanity

Would be wasted!

I could beat myself ahh yes.

I could

Beat myself!!!

Ohh lord lord

Oooh ooh I’m hurting, hurting inside

Oooh ooh I’m hurting

Now I really want to hear a little news now and

Then, this is not what I expect to hear from my

Friend I’m dissapointed.

He should realize that its

Gonna destroy my position (remember I’m a name

Brand) now I’ve gotta see… I should have held her tight

Every once and a while, gotten it together on the finer style

Shown her a life that was all worth while, now it seems I gotta

Walk an extra mile… I could beat myself.

ahh yes, I could beat myself

Ooh lord…

Ooh I’m hurting…

Ooooh I’m hurting, hurting inside

I don’t know what I wanna tell you

But I wanna tell you something real, real good yes

Someting to make you

Wanna shiver…
