You’re Not Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You think I've got it all? Everyone thinks I've got it made Well, how come my only friends are the ones I pay? No one understands What I would do to change my life for just one day [Chorus] Don't say if I were you (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 [Verse 2] You know what I need And it's not another serenade I get so tired of all the things you say Give me what I want, if you only would I'd gladly throw this all away [Chorus] Don't say if I were you (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 (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 [Bridge] I know you think you're being nice But spare me all your lame advice Time to play my hand and roll the dice Everybody's got their price For far too long, I've been denied I'll make up my moves, so just step aside No one can say I never tried To do everything to get back my pride Yeah, you will never be Why can't you see That you're not me? [Chorus] Don't say if I were you (Say if I were you) Or tell me what you'd do (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 (Help me if you can) This isn't what I planned (This isn't what I planned) Guess that I don't expect that you could understand 'Cause you're not me
