Me

Once I climbed up
Then I was shot down
Nobody helped me
They just messed me around
I learned one lesson
It's plain to see
The only true friend
I ever had was me
Up on the ladder
I had plenty friends
One step lower
That's where it ends
I paid my way
Gave stuff for free
'Cause the only true friend
I ever had was me
The life I'm living
I made for myself
Don't need no handout
From no one else
Talk is cheap
It can't ease no load
It's your own feet
That take you down the road
But I'm not worried
My future's in my hands
I keep me together
I'm my own man
I'm moving on right now
You wait and see
The only man gave me a hand
Was me
