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
