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 a i can be
