My Ego Needs Me Tonight

I am the laugh of the fool

Thinking that I could win

By breaking all the rules

Letting pride get in my way

Didn't care what I would say

Hide behind guilty disguise

My ego needs me tonight

I know it gets in the way

But without it I'm afraid

To face another day

The satisfaction explodes

Conquering every soul

Someday I want to be king

You'll never know what that means

'Cause I'm a man and...

My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight

I won't abandon this fight

Don't care who's wrong or what's right

'Cause my ego needs me

Addictive pseudo-control

I'll smack you down

If I think you're on a roll

I just can't take that chance

I have to forge my romance

The side I want you to see

Was really made up for me

Can't you understand that

My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight

I won't abandon this fight

Protect my wrong from my right

'Cause my ego needs me tonight

I won't abandon this fight

Don't care who's wrong or what's right

'Cause my ego needs me

You say coward

I say protection

Everybody dances

With their own reflection

Overpower the fragrance

Occupy the fragrance

No compromise

No compromise

No surrender
