Lyrics:
*odd grunt*
Speaking as a guy who's really
Got it going on,
It's only natural,
It's only me.
Take it from a fella
Who's been 'round the block
So many times he's knows the only parking spot that's free.
It's only me.
You can say I've tried everything
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm not anti-social
And it's nothing that's reproachful
It's just natural,
It's only me.
I can't think of anybody else I'd rather
Spend some one on one time with,
It's not that hard to see,
It's only me.
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
And if your heart is broken
You can just do what you do best
You can just do what you do,
When your heart is broken
Trust in the one who loves you
Never put others above you
I thought I was using me
To get to you
But this is true.
I'm natural, it's only me.
They say you'll never love another
'Til you love yourself,
Well, brother I'm in love with everyone I see.
It's only me.
You could say I've tried every thing
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T
