The Things We Do

The things I do, the things I plan,
the words I say, the thoughts I feel -
they're all for me, they’re all for me.

The dreams you dream, the songs you sing,
the rhymes you write in your little book -
they're all for you, they're all for you.

No need to stop and wonder why it’s this way
when there are people that needed you and me.
‘Coz we can’t give love to no one at all
until we've learned first to love ourselves.

The things we do, the things we plan,
the words we say,  the thoughts we feel -
they're all for us, they're all for us.
