| Lately I have noticed all my friends avoidin' me
 | 
| And that girl who loves me up and said goodbye
 | 
| My whole world is comin' apart and fallin' in on me
 | 
| And I guess deep down I know the reason why
 | 
| Lately I’ve been livin' for nobody else but me
 | 
| Lettin' my selfish ego take command
 | 
| Lately I’ve been givin' in to pride and vanity
 | 
| And I guess I let it get the upper hand
 | 
| And I think it’s just about time to
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| A little private conversation
 | 
| A little self-examination
 | 
| A little attitude correction
 | 
| A little soul-search and inspection
 | 
| Start headin' in the right direction
 | 
| Take a little walk (take a little walk)
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| Do do do do do do do do do
 | 
| Uh-uh-huh Do do do do do do
 | 
| I put importance on the wrong things in this life
 | 
| And my outlook had a twisted point of view
 | 
| But all you reap with vanity is a heartache and strife
 | 
| Without love and friendship you can’t make it through
 | 
| And I think it’s just about time to
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| A little private conversation
 | 
| A little self-examination
 | 
| A little attitude correction
 | 
| A little soul-search and inspection
 | 
| Start headin' in the right direction
 | 
| Analyze it, recognize it
 | 
| Itemize it, criticize it
 | 
| Realize (realize)
 | 
| Organize (organize)
 | 
| Summarize (summarize)
 | 
| Ostracize it
 | 
| Take a little walk (take a little walk)
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| Do do do do do do do do do
 | 
| Uh-uh-huh Do do do do do do
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| Yes I’m going to have to
 | 
| Have a little talk with myself
 | 
| (Have a little talk with myself)
 | 
| A little private conversation
 | 
| A little self-examination… |
