No matter what I do I can't make you happy Though I go to great lengths to do your will If you say hurry, girl I make it snappy Trying hard to keep your wishes filled But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged From being pressure underneath your thumb So here's a message you can give your mama Starting now I'm looking out for number one Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please Till the only one unhappy Feeling broken down is me But things are gonna change With each new setting sun Starting now I'm looking out for number one It's getting hard to face my morning mirror There's a stranger in there staring back at me He tells me every day it's getting clearer Son you're not the man you used to be Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder And quit worrying 'bout the things that you want done I'm gonna start the fire that you have smoldered 'Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please Till the only one unhappy Feeling broken down is me But things are gonna change With each new setting sun Starting now I'm looking out for number one Yeah, starting now I'm looking out for number one
