I wish I could be anybody but me
I wish I could be anybody but me
Lonely, lonely as I can be
Well, I had a true love, had the world in my hands
Now I got a hurt, I can't hardly stand
A little bit of loving would be so grand
I'm not the same old me that I use to be
I wanna be somebody just anybody but me
I got the blues on my mind, blues won't let me be
Now I wanna be free from what's holding me
Take away these tears, take away these tears and let me see
'Cause I wanna be back like I use to be
I said, I wish I could be, yes, anybody but me
Yeah, now I wanna be just any old body but me
Because I'm lonely, lonely as I can be
