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

Yeah, anybody but me

Yeah, now I wanna be

Just, any old body but me

Because I'm lonely

Lonely as I can be
