We, TopazThyme, were embarking on a plan to "just take better care of ourselves." As a SUGGESTION to others, decided to write and record the song.

Lyrics

Be Good To Yourself

Intro
Everybody knows
That your good is your greatest wealth
And when it's gone
What have you got left

Verse/Chorus
So, Be Good To Yourself 
Whatever you do
Remember there is only one of you
Don't leave it up to anyone else
It's up to you to be good to yourself

(repeat with/'ad lib')

Bridge
Choose with care the foods you eat
Exercise, relax and sleep
Your good health is so essential
Be it physical, spiritual, or mental

Verse/Chorus
So, Be Good To Yourself 
Whatever you do
Remember there is only one of you
Don't leave it up to anyone else
It's up to you to be good to yourself

Tag:
Take care of yourself
Don't leave it up to anyone else
It's up to you
And you alone
So come on now
Be..ee ree.al go to yourself

Note: Vary and ad lib lines as desired
