E
No matter what I do I can?t make you happy
Bm A E
Though I go to great lengths to do your will

If you say hurry girl I make it snappy
F# B
Trying hard to keep your wishes filled
E
But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged
A E
>From being pressured underneath your thumb
C#m A
So here's a message you can give your mama
E B E
Starting now I'm looking out for number one
Chorus:
A
Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please
E
Till the only one unhappy feeling broken down is me
C#m A
But things are gonna change with each new setting sun
E B E
Starting now I'm looking out for number one
E
It's getting hard to face my morning mirror
Bm A E
There's a stranger in there staring back at me
A E
He tells me everyday it's getting clearer
F# B
Son your not the man you used to be
E
Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder
A E
And quit worrying about the things that you want done

I'm gonna start the fire that you have smoldered
E B E
Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one
repeat chorus:
E B E
Yeah starting now I'm looking out for number one
