I've Been My Own Worst Friend Lyrics - All Our Own Work - Sandy Denny

At the gate you will wait 

And hesitate and you will lose 

I've got my life to live 

You must take what you make 

From the fake without a name 

I've nothing more to give. 

But if pleasure means money, then take it all 

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call 

I know that something always turns up in the end 

I've been my own worst friend. 

I was blind, you were kind 

Now I find that I was shy 

Nothing to do but leave 

I understand, it was planned 

Like the sand I'm high and dry 

I've no more dreams to weave. 

But if pleasure means money, then take it all 

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call 

I know that something always turns up in the end 

I've been my own worst friend. 

Like a fool, I was cool 

As a rule it works out fine 

This time it worked out wrong 

Now you've turned, I have learned 

And I've earned that which is mine 

Why not take me along. 

But if pleasure means money, then take it all 

I'll make sure I'm out the next time you call 

I know that something always turns up in the end 

I've been my own worst friend.
