Beat Myself Up (Joe Merrick) © 2004
I'm a man I’m a dog I’m lower than dirt
Born with a devilish curse
Whenever things get better I’m bound to upset ya
I make the best case scenario the worst
I got a wondering eye - A.D.D. of the heart
Ain't so sure what I got to prove
Never felt sorry for my cheating ways
Till I cheated and lost you
You don’t have to punish me
Put down the punching gloves
You ain't no match for guilty conscience
I’m gonna beat myself up
Gonna be forever black and blue
Gonna beat myself up
And do more damage than you could do
Gonna drown my liver till I’m down for the count
Rest assured and sleep tight
I’m gonna beat myself up for losing you every day and every night
I used to laugh out loud at that old cliché
Of not knowing what you got till it’s gone
Never rang true till what was gone was you
Now I kick myself for doing you wrong
Save that slap in the face
Keep your low blows to yourself
Don’t pour that beer over my head
Let me drink it instead
So I’ll live out my life in this dungeon of a bar
And grow old with all the other guilty guys
Slurring my confession that I finally learned my lesson
Lost the one true love of my life
So honey hold you fire
Don’t throw my laundry on the lawn
I promise to be in misery
Now that you’re gone
