You're not me lyrics

You think I've got it all 

Everyone thinks I've got it made, well 

How come my only friends are the ones I pay? 

No one understands 

What I would do to change my life for just one day

Don't say if I were you (say if I were you) 

Or tell me what you'd do 

How things would be if 

You were in my shoes 

'Cuz you're not me

You know what I need 

And it's not another serenade 

I get so tired of all the things you say 

Give me what I want 

If you only would 

I'd gladly throw this all away

Don't say if I were you (say if I were you) 

Or tell me what you'd do 

Or things would be if 

You were in my shoes ('cuz you're not me)

Please take me as I am (take me as I am) 

This isn't what I planned 

I guess I don't expect that 

You can understand 

'Cuz you're not me

I know you think you're bein' nice 

But spare me all your lame advice 

Time to play my hand and roll the dice 

Everybody's got their price

For far too long I've been denied 

I'm makin' my move so just step aside 

No one can say I never tried 

To do everything to get back my pride

Hey, you were never me 

Why can't you see 

That you're not me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)

Don't say if I were you (say if I were you) 

Or tell me what you'd do (tell me what you'd do) 

Or how things would be if 

You were in my shoes ('cuz you're not me)

Please help me if you can (help me if you can) 

This isn't what I planned (this isn't what I planned) 

I guess I don't expect that 

You can understand 

'Cuz you're not me
