I'd Rather Be Me
The day, I came, it rained, champagne
The days, the change, you're not, so strange
I am, and I can, even though some nights I'm just another drunken man
Got to go, can't really stay
Watch me take a chance and dance, I want to go all the way
Takin' my time with my woman and my wine
I haven't got a home, but I don't need a shrine
Sometimes the lines, take a week or two
Breaking my pen, over someone like you
'Cause you say something simple, that touches me inside
That shows I've been gone, I'll be back in a while
'Cause I've been, and I've seen, and you're losing your style
And you simply can't see, why I'd rather be me
Talk of deals, not what you feel,
it's not what you want, it's not even real
No pain, now there's no gain,
I hope you'll realize that you can't afford to stay the same
You're alright, there's no real bite,
'cause you've gotten what you've
want now there's no real need to fight
Please don't stay, in vain,
'cause I could be right there if only you could feel the same
Sat on the throne of your safe little life
Two dogs and a cat, and a safe little wife
Sometimes with wine, just a time or two
You'll look at me, and I'll look at you
'Cause you say something simple, that touches me inside
That shows you're not gone, you're just lost for a while
Maybe trapped, in a web, of your chosen lifestyle
And you simply can't see, why I'd rather be me
The days, the change, you're not, so strange
I am, and I can, even though some nights I'm just another drunken man
Got to go, can't really stay
Watch me take a chance and dance, I want to go all the way
Takin' my time with my woman and my wine
I haven't got a home, but I don't need a shrine
Sometimes the lines, take a week or two
Breaking my pen, over someone like you
'Cause you say something simple, that touches me inside
That shows I've been gone, I'll be back in a while
'Cause I've been, and I've seen, and you're losing your style
And you simply can't see, why I'd rather be me
Talk of deals, not what you feel,
it's not what you want, it's not even real
No pain, now there's no gain,
I hope you'll realize that you can't afford to stay the same
You're alright, there's no real bite,
'cause you've gotten what you've
want now there's no real need to fight
Please don't stay, in vain,
'cause I could be right there if only you could feel the same
Sat on the throne of your safe little life
Two dogs and a cat, and a safe little wife
Sometimes with wine, just a time or two
You'll look at me, and I'll look at you
'Cause you say something simple, that touches me inside
That shows you're not gone, you're just lost for a while
Maybe trapped, in a web, of your chosen lifestyle
And you simply can't see, why I'd rather be me
