Check Yourself
[Otis (& then Melvin - spoken)]
By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew youd make me cry)
And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die)
But I had to find out on my own.
(Check yourself, check yourself)
[Paul:]
Aww, thats what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself)
All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself )
Sometimes you just got to lose.
Thats when you pay your dues.
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool,
To think that... youd stayed so true.
Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Id always win. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself)
And Im on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh dont, feel sorry.
I had it coming, its true.
Cause Im losing, yes, Im losing, Im losing you.
Before I go, Id like for you to know.
Youve had my heart from the very start.
But theres one more thing, before we part.
And thats Im sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart.
Aww, Im on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Because I know Id lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Ill kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself)
But Ill be thinking of....
The good times. (The good times)
The bad times. (The bad times)
But good or bad, happy or sad,
Of memories. (Memories)
Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories)
Aww, memories... are all I have.
Aww, thats what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Thats what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Thats what they... what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Hmmm...
