Good To Yourself

written by Vonda Shepard and Paul Gordon



I stopped at an all night diner

Ooh, it seemed like a romantic thing to do

Yeah, but I'm lonely, it ain't like the movies

In the old days

I saw you sittin' in the corner counting change,

Like you were counting your daydreams

Then youe eyes, they suddenly hit me like a railroad train



Oh, sometimes I think I might be immune to a guy like you

But I can't walk away, no I can't walk away

Oh, tonight I see you're at the end of the line, well, me too

But we all gotta pay



I know you'd be good to me

I know you'd try to be good to me

But in the end, baby can't depend on no one else

When the chips are down, I have found

You better be good to yourself...good to yourself



I guess I've known you before, maybe in high school

or maybe you're just one more guy I went looking for

The boy next door

Or maybe I'm the girl with the see-through eyes

But I watch too many movies,

I get tangled in the story of someone else's life

Baby, who am I...and who are you?



Oh, sometimes I go to bed at night

And I think that I'm with you

Then I say a little prayer, cuz I threw it all away

The other day you called up to see if I miss you

And all I could say was



I know you'd be good to me

I know you'd try to be good to me

But in the end, baby can't depend on no one else

When the chips are down, I have found

You better be good to yourself...good to yourself



Night has a clever desguise

She makes me believe that I'm lonely

I should know by now if I can make it to tomorrow

I can work it out



Cuz in the end, baby can't depend on no one else

When the chips are down, I have found

You better be good to yourself...good to yourself
