SELF PITY
(Margriet Eshuijs)


Margriet Eshuijs - 1978



Love and friendship slipped away
Hurting us every day
We didn't have any joy
I was just like a toy

And now, there we are apart
Breaking each other's heart
The tears that flow are not real
It's from self pity there is still
Emotion on a face, the hatred in in a soul
The lies are in our eyes

You and I, we had no plan
I tried as hard as I can
To show you that I was right
You don't have to hide

The truth ain't that hard at all
Face it and stand tall
These tears that flow are not real
It's from self pity there is still
Emotion on a face, the hatred in a soul
The lies are in our eyes

We've got no, we've got no right
Crying out of self pity
Crying out of self pity

(Instrumental Break)

It's from self pity there is still
Emotion on a face, the hatred in a soul
The lies are in our eyes

We've got no, we've got no right
Crying out of self pity
Crying out of self pity

We've got no, got no right
Crying out of self pity
Crying out of self pity

We've got no, we've got no, we've got no right
Crying out of self pity
Crying out of self pity

We've got no, we've got no, we've got no right
(Crying out of self pity)
Crying out of self pity

We just ain't got no right
