LYRIC:

I've got to where it's hard to find the tears so you can weep
I've got to where the step up to the carpet is too steep
I've got to where apart from air there's nothing in the tank
And I'd like to think that I had time to thank
But I've got me to thank
I've got me to thank

          I've got me to thank
          I should have spoken to you clearly
          And now the chance is nearly gone and I pay dearly
          I've got me to thank
          I don't blame you even slightly
          I should have made my sorrow brightly lit
          And put it lightly

          Not the same complaint twice nightly
          Holding on to you too tightly

I've got to where it's hard to find the sleep so you can dream
I've got to wear a diving suit to find my self-esteem
I've got to where I hardly care there's nothing in the bank
And I'd like to think that I had time to think of who or what to thank
But when I do I draw a blank
'Cause I've got me to thank
I've got me to thank
