BEACH BOYS - That's Not Me lyrics

rate me

I had to prove that I could

Make it alone now, but that's not me

I wanted to show how

Independent I'd grown now, but that's not me

I could try to be big

In the eyes of the world

What matters to me is

What I could be to just one girl

I'm a little bit scared

'Cause I haven't been home in a long time

You needed my love

And I know that I left at the wrong time

My folks when I wrote them

Told 'em what I was up to, said, "That's not me"

I went through all kinds of changes

Took a look at myself and said, "That's not me"

I miss my pad

And the places I've known

And every night as I lay there alone

I will dream

I once had a dream

So I packed up and split for the city

I soon found out

That my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I'm glad I went

Now, I'm that much more sure that we're ready

I once had a dream

So I packed up and split for the city

I soon found out

That my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I once had a dream

So I packed up and split for the city

I soon found out

That my lonely life wasn't so pretty
