Have a Little Talk With Myself Songtext
von Ray Stevens

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...
