Your Own Worst Enemy Lyrics

It's your own worst enemy
Ringing the bell on the door
And the person inside says nobody's home
So your own worst enemy peaks inside
And sees you softly weeping
As some music fills the room

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face
Going "Precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share"

Full bottle in front of me
Time to roll up my sleeves and get to work
And after many glasses of work
I get paid in the brain

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face
Going "Precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share"

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face
Going "Precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share"

It's your own worst enemyyyyyy

It's about alcoholism or problem drinking. The person keeps trying to drink away his troubles rather than deal with them so in effect, HE is his own worst enemy. Anything you won't deal with doesn't go away on its own and numbing yourself with drugs or alcohol won't help.

Has anyone thought about the line: "And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share."

The Band Climax did a song called "Precious and Few" which was released in 1972. The lyrics are "Precious and few are the moments we two can share" which seems to fit.

I do not know about the messed up face part, but the lead singer of Climax, Sonny Geraci, did end up getting a cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
