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
