What does it take

I like to think that I'm living my life to its highest high
I got some money, a gig and a lover, they get me by
My home ain't much but it's mine
So if you think that I'm running blind
Remember
I ain't always the me that you see
I'm kinda hard to find
And I need it that way

Some people say that you gotta be with it or out you go
Where do they get off believing that someone's so easy to know
When deep inside there's a scared little kid who's beneath it all

Well I decide who's the me that you see
The one who hides or the one who shows

What does it take to believe that you're number one
Take the time to get off the shelf
What does it take to believe that you're number one
Only yourself, only yourself
What does it take, everybody's on the run
It ain't bad luck that has them down
What does it take to believe that you're number one
Only yourself, only yourself
