John Prine - My Own Best Friend lyrics

I'm beginning to like you But, you know that ain't right 'cause you'll just twist and twist and twist Till i'm all crooked inside Then you'll take all you gave me Like it never was there And i think that i might, no! i know Yes, i will help you there 'cause ...

Repeat chorus
