I work overtime 'cause my boss is a jerk
|
It gets him off my back
|
I go to see my momma right after work
|
So she knows where I’m at
|
|
Stop by my sister’s and I hug her neck
|
Tell her just let that guy go
|
But there’s a few things I do
|
When I’m all by myself that nobody knows
|
|
It’s just something I do for me
|
Sometimes when I can’t sleep
|
I get in my car and drive down your street
|
It’s just something I do for me
|
|
I did everything that a man could do
|
To try and make you smile
|
I couldn’t keep love from slippin' away
|
But I slowed it down a while
|
|
When you finally told me that you’d had enough
|
Well, it broke my heart into
|
So I swallowed my pride, walked out of your life
|
I did that for you
|
|
But there’s something I do for me
|
Sometimes I really need
|
Sit in a bar drown some old memories
|
It’s just something I do for me
|
|
I know these things might all seem strange
|
But somehow they get me by
|
This smile on my face is hidin’ the trace of teardrops
|
In my eyes
|
|
It’s just something I do for me
|
Sometimes when no one sees
|
I talk to the man, I get down on my knees
|
It’s just something I do for me
|
