The Blackbyrds - Thankful 'Bout Yourself Lyrics

The Blackbyrds Lyrics

"Thankful 'Bout Yourself"

You and he may act alike
Deep inside you're day or night
No one can say who is best
You'll be a fool in tryin' to guess
Why can't people act their way?
This is what I'm tryin' to say
Accept yourself for what you are
'Cause everybody is a star

You ought to be thankful 'bout yourself
Well, I'm thankful 'bout myself
Yes, I'm thankful 'bout myself
You ought to be thankful 'bout yourself
Well, I'm thankful 'bout myself
Yes, I'm thankful 'bout myself

If you don't do the thing you feel
The life you live will be unreal
You could be most anything
Why not try to be a king?
Why can't people act their way?
This is what I'm tryin' to say
Accept yourself for what you are
'Cause everybody is a star

You ought to be thankful 'bout yourself
Well, I'm thankful 'bout myself
Yes, I'm thankful 'bout myself
You ought to be thankful 'bout yourself
Well, I'm thankful 'bout myself
Yes, I'm thankful 'bout myself

You and he may act alike
Deep inside you're day or night
No one can say who is best
You'll be a fool in tryin' to guess
If you don't do the thing you feel
The life you live will be unreal
You could be most anything
Why not try to be a king?

You could be most anything
Why not try to be a king?
You could be most anything
Why not try to be a king?
