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........
