Number One

All my life people have told me

You've got to look after Number One,

You've got to come first in everything

And you do what has to be done.

But never in my life have I done this

Because that is not who I am,

I spend all my time trying

Not to hurt anyone if I can.

I know, you don't have to tell me

That I'll always end off worse,

Because I put everyone else before me

I've had a lot of broken hearts to nurse.

My life will always be a long way from happy

But I don't see how I can change,

I would find it hard to live with myself

If for your unhappiness I was to blame.
