Check Yourself - Nicki Richards

In my life, I’ve made mistakes

And I need to redeem

Messed around with you

But you weren’t free

Had to stare back and check myself

Oh, but you, everybody thinks

That you’re such a great man

Running it, make your money

Doing big things

But you and I know

Exactly where you have been

Well you can pretend, baby

Better check yourself and how you’re really living

Can you face yourself staring back from the mirror

So high and mighty, what’s that you’re hiding?

You might want to think it over

Better check yourself, smoking and charading

Can you face yourself, it’s getting too complicated, baby

Someone might ask you «What kind of man are you?»

You might want to think it over

So there it ends

When you disconnect

To have your special friend

When it all could come to bite you in the end

Is this the kind of man you call yourself?

(Are you yourself?)

And as for me, I may not be an angel

But now I’m free

What you’ve done to her

You won’t do to me

You may go out and on

Before you just think

Remember these words for me, baby

I’m just sayin'

I’m just sayin' (say what?)

I’m just sayin' (Girl, what are you saying?)

I’m just sayin', babe (What are you trying to say?)

Tower of Power, tell him what I’m saying!

Horns?!

Uhh, that’s right

What?

(I hear what they sayin'!)

(I hear that)

Yeah, take THAT!
