Good to Yourself Songtext
von Vonda Shepard

Written by Vonda Shepard and Paul Gordon

I stopped at an all night diner
Ooh, it seemed like a romantic thing to do
Yeah, but I′m lonely, it ain't like the movies
In the old days
I saw you sittin′ in the corner counting change,
Like you were counting your daydreams
Then youe eyes, they suddenly hit me like a railroad train

Oh, sometimes I think I might be immune to a guy like you
But I can't walk away, no I can't walk away
Oh, tonight I see you′re at the end of the line, well, me too
But we all gotta pay

I know you′d be good to me
I know you'd try to be good to me
But in the end, baby can′t depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
You better be good to yourself... good to yourself


I guess I've known you before, maybe in high school
Or maybe you′re just one more guy I went looking for
The boy next door
Or maybe I'm the girl with the see-through eyes
But I watch too many movies,
I get tangled in the story of someone else′s life
Baby, who am I... and who are you?

Oh, sometimes I go to bed at night
And I think that I'm with you
Then I say a little prayer, cuz I threw it all away
The other day you called up to see if I miss you
And all I could say was

I know you'd be good to me
I know you′d try to be good to me
But in the end, baby can′t depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
You better be good to yourself... good to yourself

Night has a clever desguise
She makes me believe that I'm lonely
I should know by now if I can make it to tomorrow
I can work it out

Cuz in the end, baby can′t depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
You better be good to yourself... good to yourself
