My Own Best Friend

There's a song in the Chicago musical that is not in the movie, titled My Own Best Friend.

"And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly sing a song
Of unrelenting determination and unmitigated ego

One thing I know
One thing I know
And I've always known
And I've always known
I am my own
I am my own
Best friend

Baby's alive
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
But baby's alone
And baby's her own
And baby's her own
Best friend

Many's the guy
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs

And trusting to luck
And trusting to luck
That's only for fools
Only for fools
I play in a game
I play in a game
Where I make the rules

And rule number one
From here to the end
Is I am my own best friend'

Three musketeers
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Me
Me
Myself
Myself
And I
And I

If life is a school I'll pass every test
If life is a game I'll play it the best
'Cause I wont give in and I'll never bend
And I am my own best friend"



I think this is the best song of all. From now on, I will be my own best friend. I'm going to put myself first always. I'm going to spoil myself rotten because nobody else does. I'm going to spend a lot of quality time with me, myself, and I. We're going to have fun indulging in things that we like and that make us happy. We are going to spend money on each other when we truly deserve it.

I'm tired of being treated wrongly by everyone. Since nobody makes an effort to treat me well, I'll just treat myself well instead. Who needs anyone else?
