just me to myself*

[Verse 1] Don't tell me I'm special, I never will be Don't give me delusions of grandiosity Don't tell me I'm smart, lots of people are smarter If I'm working hard, someone's still working harder And I can be funny every once in a while But they'll make you laugh and I'll just make you smile Yeah, I'll just make you smile [Pre-Chorus] But if I try to be anybody but myself (myself) Then I'll die, a sorry Knockoff of somebody else [Chorus] But it's all subject to anyway Can’t compare Virginia Woolf to Hemingway You're taxi drivеr, to Cali Bay Just me to myself (myself, mysеlf) [Verse 2] Don't tell me I'm pretty, no that doesn't help Not if you compare me to everyone else What they have is real Find something I'm fake 'Cause I know the real me It's all within hate A piece of me's missing There's just something wrong I've met all the cool kids and we don't get along No, we don't get a little along [Pre-Chorus] But if I try to be anybody but myself (myself) Then I'll die, a sorry Knockoff of somebody else [Chorus] But it's all subject to anyway Can’t compare Virginia Woolf to Hemingway Or taxi driver to Cabaret Just me to myself (myself, myself) Or Basquiat to Claude Monet Or a bird in flight to a big jet plane Or line dancing to the Royal Ballet Just me to myself (myself, myself) Or a New York City to L.A Or a left side mind to a right side brain Or a Claire de Lune to run away Just me to myself (myself, myself) Or Elliot Smith to cool in the gate Or a winter's Eve to a summer's day Or the Hawk to a girl's entertain (just me to myself)
