Lyrics
Nobody But Me...
words & music by Joe Chinnici - c1999
You know I run I run every day
Taking the time to make me the time to feel okay
You know it?s hard to stay the way?
Society says you should look, talk and feel
Is anyone really feeling that real today ? today
And so I turn the other cheek
People, they see me and judge me before they hear me speak
You know it?s hard to make them see
All they see is the hair and the clothes I wear
They don?t see the soul, no it isn?t fair to me ? no fair to me
Now I can?t forget the things that they?ve done
But I can learn from them
And never be guilty of hurting no one
Cause I won?t judge nobody but me
She looked at me and turned away
She thought to herself ?How can a man let himself look that way??
We didn?t talk, but that?s okay
Cause I don?t need no one with a shallow tongue
Or someone ignoring the setting sun
She did me a favor when she just turned away ? turned away
No I can?t forget the things that they?ve done
But I will learn from them
And never be guilty of hurting no one
Cause I won?t judge nobody but me ? nobody
No I won?t judge nobody but me ? nobody ? no one
