Lyrics

Make Your Own

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.

Happiness is in your own bed, baby

Don't need to lap up in somebody else's to find it

If you make your bed well

And appreciate your living

You won't have to be reminded

Of a high where you're livin'

'Cause if you spread yourself too thin

You're gonna sell yourself too short

It's easy to be blinded

And then you have to be reminded

You make your own bed

Life still don't stay away

Don't waste your action

Save your energies

'Cause they say a word

If you think too hard

You might pass over satisfaction

'Cause happiness is in your own bed, baby

You don't need to lap up in somebody else's to find it

If you make your bed well

And appreciate giving

You won't have to be reminded

But I'm glad you won't be blinded

'Cause it's right there at your fingertips

All you've been looking for

If you just make your own bed

And if you make it well

Now ya have to make your own bed

Baby now make it now
