No one understands
What I would do to
Change my life for
Just one day
Don't say "If I were you,"
Or tell me what you'd do;
How things would be if
You were in my shoes,
'Cause you're not me!
You know what I need?
And it's not another serenade
I get so tired of all the things
You say!
Gimme what I want,
If you only would,
I'd gladly throw this soul away
Don't say "If I were you,"
Or tell me what you'd do;
How things would be if
You were in my shoes,
'Cause you're not me!
Please, take me as I am
This isn't what I planned
I guess I don't expect that
You could understand,
'Cause you're not me
I know you think you're bein' nice,
But spare me all your lame advice!
Time to clear my hand and roll the dice
Everybody's got their price
For far too long, I've been denied
I'm makin' my moves, so just step aside
No one can say I never tried
To do everything to get back my pride!
Yeah, if you were ever me
Why can't you see
That you're not me?
Don't say "If I were you,"
Or tell me what you'd do;
How things would be if
You were in my shoes,
'Cause you're not me!
Please, help me if you can
This isn't what I planned
I guess I don't expect that
You could understand,
'Cause you're not me
