She came home a little early, I said "Baby, this is Shirley," and she said "I think it's time for you to leave." At the time what I said was "Well I guess this is the end, but I'm the best damn lover that you're ever gonna meet."

[Chorus] But with time to reflect, I'm beginning to suspect, that my opinion of myself is quite a bit higher than what's suggested by the evidence.

I got to work an hour late, They said "Decisions have been made. Clear out your desk; you've underachieved." At the time what I said was "Something else'll pay the rent, but I'm the best damn worker that you're ever gonna see."

[Chorus]

In the courtroom again I didn't see a lot of friends when the judge asked "How do you plead?" At the time what I said was "Well you know I'm innocent, 'cause I'm the best damn citizen you're ever gonna meet."

[Chorus]

And with time to reflect, I am coming to accept that my opinion of myself is quite a bit higher than what's suggested by the evidence.
