My Own Best Friend
One thing I know
One thing I know
And I've always known
And I've always known
I am my own
I am my own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Baby's alive
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
But baby's alone
And baby's her own
And baby's her own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Many's the guy
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs
And trusting to luck
And trusting to luck
That's only for fools
Only for fools
I play in a game
I play in a game
Roxie & Velma:
Where I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is 'I am my own best friend'
Three musketees
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Me
Me
Myself
Myself
And I!
And I!
Velma & Roxie:
If life is a school
I'll pass every test
If life is a game
I'll play it the best
'Cause I won't give in
and I'll never bend
and I am my own best friend
One thing I know
And I've always known
And I've always known
I am my own
I am my own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Baby's alive
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
But baby's alone
And baby's her own
And baby's her own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Many's the guy
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs
And trusting to luck
And trusting to luck
That's only for fools
Only for fools
I play in a game
I play in a game
Roxie & Velma:
Where I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is 'I am my own best friend'
Three musketees
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Me
Me
Myself
Myself
And I!
And I!
Velma & Roxie:
If life is a school
I'll pass every test
If life is a game
I'll play it the best
'Cause I won't give in
and I'll never bend
and I am my own best friend
