Lyrics
Me, Not Me
(verse)Must have been somebody else talkin'
'Cause I would never have said those crazy things
Not me, who loves you like the air that I breathe
Maybe you read in a book somewhere.
or heard it in a movie and thought it was me
just some crazy woman trying to get herself free
(chorus)Me, not me
You must be quite mistaken
Me, not me
Maybe you need more sleep, maybe a cup of coffee
and we can clarify this misperception
(verse)Maybe you're prone to sleep walkin'
going to the corner and buying a paper
maybe you read it in a column there
Or maybe you have it in your family tree
and you tell it at Christmas at a gathering
and you just remembered and you thought it was me
(chorus)
(bridge) Sleep, just sleep, lay here hold me in your arms
Maybe rest will help you see that I would never jeopardize
this situation
(verse) So, it must have been somebody else talkin'
'Cause I would never have said those crazy things
Not me, who loves you like the air that I breathe
Maybe you read in a book somewhere.
or heard it in a movie and thought it was me
just some crazy woman trying to get herself free
(chorus)
