You got gold in your fist

Eat my hope

And make it new



We spend our wage

In a couple of days

Hoping life might

Pay us back



We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame

We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame



There's no way

I'm going out like this

There is hair on my skirt

Feel the dirt on my knee



You've bled me, worn me, washed me out

Taken doubt too seriously



We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame

We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame



But I like it that way

I like it that way



Oh, go slow

You got me on your list

Take my hope

For you



There's no way

You're going out like that

There is food on your shirt

Mud and there's dirt on you



We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame

We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame



We have only ourselves

Only ourselves to blame

But I like it that way

I like it that way
