Lyrics
My Own Best Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Roxie: There's only one person who can help ya now, Roxie
Velma: There's only one person you can count on now, Velma
And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly sing a song
Of unrelenting determination and unmitigated ego
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
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
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
Where I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is I am my own best friend'
Three musketeers
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Me
Me
Myself
Myself
And I
And I
If life is a school I'll pass every test
If life is a game I'll play it the best
'Cause I wont give in and I'll never bend
And I am my own best friend
