Why is it so hard to treat yourself with the respect
That you would give anybody else
Why can't you be on your own side
Get off your back a little while
Do you think you're not susceptible
To falling head first into yourself
You know your story can't ever change
'till you get off your back again
If you only had a reason
For those mirrors wrapped around your head
Come out and see things from where you don't stand
What if you gave yourself half a chance
You know you have to enjoy the ride
Off your back a little while
