Looking out for myself
Since a fantasy drifted out to see into memory
Looking out for myself
And I'm feeling good
Make the moves I should
Hop that train
Knew I could ignore the pain
Now I won't look back
'Cause I'm saved inside
Set free on time for myself that you lie
Looking out for number one
Looking out for number one
Looking out for number one
When you told me the truth
I just close my eyes
But inside I knew it was no surprise
Darling soon pack my things
Left it all behind
Had to fill my life with something new
Saved myself from needin' you
And I won't look back
'Cause I'm saved inside
Set free on time for myself that you lie
Looking out for number one
Looking out for number one
Looking out for number one
And no more keep this all for somebody else
Never knew it felt so good
To be depending on no one but me
Now the worst is behind
And I'm here to stay
No more practicing
It's my turn to play
And I won't look back
'Cause I'm saved inside
Set free on time for myself that you lie
