Author's Ramble: Hey, everyone. I was rewatching "The Toad, the Witch, and The Wardrobe" the other day and when Toad said (at the end) "I'm my own worst enemy" I was reminded of this song ("Don't let me get me" by "Pink" that I kept hearing everywhere. And so I set out to look for the lyrics and try to make a Toad song out of it. And here it is! And, I know what you're going to say. You can't really see Toad saying "self-defeating" (as well as other things), but let's just pretend he knows what it means, and can actually talk like that. ^_^ (Sorry Toad :P). Okay then, on with the angst!
Disclaimer: I disclaim all
ownership of the original song. And
Toad, too.
"I just don't get me"
Never won a fight, I'm no help to the team
I have no direction, and I'm hardly ever clean (though by choice ;)
Teachers despised me, my parents disowned me
I always got a beatin' for gettin' caught stealin'
Everyday there's a battle inside of my head
I can't take the person livin' in there
I'm a curse upon myself
I just don't get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It stinks when you can't help yourself
So self-defeatin'
Don't wanna be "the Toad" no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yo
Wanda told me, "Only chance you've got,
For bein' with me is to be someone you're not."
Tired of bein' called a "worthless slimeball"
Even though it's true, still hurts like poo
Forgie, Forgie can't you please invent me somethin'
A way to become someone else?
'Cause I'm a curse upon myself
(Chorus): I just don't get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It stinks when you can't help yourself
So self-defeatin'
Don't wanna be "the Toad" no more
I wanna be somebody else
(Repeat Chorus)
So Forgie, Forgie can't you please invent me somethin'
A way to become someone else?
I just don't get me
I'm a
curse upon myself
(Repeat Chorus)

Well, there ya go. Hope ya liked it. Tried to find a good substitution for "Don't let me get me". "Nobody gets me" (as in no one understands me, for those who may not get that ;) was my first choice but didn't fit in with the self-enemy theme. "I don't get me" seemed to work well, so I just used that. :)
