You say you broke your resolutions
Well you know
We all want to keep our word
You say you'll try some substitutions
Well you know
This is really quite absurd

So when you're making New Year's pledges
Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know you gotta be yourself
Yourself, yourself

You say the thing with resolutions
Every year
They're so easy to begin
You say it's in the execution
Every year
Makes you quit 'em once again

So stop making plenty of promises that you'll break
All you are doing is making a big mistake

Don't you know you gotta be yourself
Yourself, yourself

You say you're making restitution
Every year
For the mischief that you do
You're looking for some absolution
Every year
It's time to start your life anew

So you say you're not gonna be the same anymore
But then you go back to the way that you were before

Don't you know you gotta be yourself
Yourself, yourself, yourself

All year, all year...
