Looking Out For #1 Lyrics
Take it to the limit
I'm the sucker here to win it
That dumb look on my face is sayin'
You can have your way with me
Never could've known it
Would've blown it in a minute
So don't you take my place
'Cause it's a race to mock adversity
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Moving up or moving out
Moving up or moving out
It's my way, my way, my way
And I really don't care what you say
Looking out for number one
Well, we used to believe in the hope and the dream
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
Take me to the bottom 'cause we've got 'em and we know it
Abandoned and boycotted, should've shot 'em, it's a travesty
Suckers keep on sucking while they're crushing and you know it
So smoke 'em if you've got 'em 'cause that cloud of yours is killing me
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Moving up or moving out
Moving up or moving out
It's my way, my way, my way
And I really don't care what you say
Looking out for number one
Well, we used to believe in the hope and the dream
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Number one
Well, we used to believe in the hope and the dream
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
We used to believe in the hope and the dream
Then they hit you with their lies and bust you up inside
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
I'm the sucker here to win it
That dumb look on my face is sayin'
You can have your way with me
Never could've known it
Would've blown it in a minute
So don't you take my place
'Cause it's a race to mock adversity
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Moving up or moving out
Moving up or moving out
And I really don't care what you say
Looking out for number one
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
Abandoned and boycotted, should've shot 'em, it's a travesty
Suckers keep on sucking while they're crushing and you know it
So smoke 'em if you've got 'em 'cause that cloud of yours is killing me
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Moving up or moving out
Moving up or moving out
And I really don't care what you say
Looking out for number one
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
I'm just looking out for number one (looking out for number one)
Number one
Then they hit you with their lies, hit you with lies
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
Then they hit you with their lies and bust you up inside
When they turn you away and there's nothing to say
Well, they cut you down to size, we see it in your eyes
