TAKING CARE OF MYSELF
(c) 1993 Nancy Abrams

Don’t come to me with your
Fears and woes, honey
It's not my problem
In a lifetime you may never
Pay back all you owe, honey
It's not my problem

I'm not your doormat any more
I've gotten up off the floor
Once I was your wife
Now I'm getting a life
I'm not living on lies anymore

I loved you far too much
Let you lean on me like a crutch
Took care of you in your private hell
Now I'm taking care of myself

I know you're sinking fast, all your
Friends are used up, honey
It's not my problem
I won't sink down there with you just to
Help you get up, honey
It's not my problem

You walked out on our child and me
Your desires were all you could see
Now you say you love us
Who are you trying to kid?
I don't need you like I thought I did

I loved you far too much
Let you lean on me like a crutch
Took care of you in your private hell
Now I'm taking care of myself

Someone always saves you
That's what keeps you weak
Honey, you have got to stand
On your own two feet

I loved you far too much
Let you lean on me like a crutch
Yes, I got burned
But I finally learned
That I can take care of myself

When you get burned
Maybe you’ll learn
That you can take care…
I’m taking care of myself
