Anyone But Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Even though it was long ago
I’m still caught up in the undertow
And the waves come crashing over me
Cause I’m caught up in who I couldn’t be
Cause what you want and what you need
Is a man that I can never be
And what you want what you need
Is anyone
Anyone but me
Couple years older than me
Met you at duke- you were out of my league
Was dating caroline at the time I met you
She done got a song, she doesn’t get two
No
Years disappear- years blow by
You fell in love with me- I don’t know why
But everytime I’m in the city on tour
I pretend I’m the man and for those hours I’m yours
Woo!
But you deserve better- we both know it
I fucking love you- I never show it
Go
As soon as you can, get a real guy
Baby, anybody but me
Cause what you want and what you need
Is man that I can never be
And what you want what you need
Is anyone
Anyone but me
Maybe you were out of my league
I been hitting homers,
Baby now I’m big leagues (yep)
I swear ima wife you up one day
But for now I just text you when I’m on the runway
Sorry
I say I’m in town
You say for how long
I say I don’t know
So more small talk
I go to work for a while in the studio
But when I’m done I gon hit it like a groupie hoe
But you’re not though- and we both know it
I fucking love you- I never show it
Go
As soon as you can, get a real guy
Baby, anybody but me
Even though it was long ago
I’m still caught up in the undertow
And the waves come crashing over me
Cause I’m caught up in who I couldn’t be
Cause what you want and what you need
Is a man that I can never be
And what you want what you need
Is anyone
Anyone but me
A couple years ago we had it all
Seems like almost every single day I wanna pick up and call
Way back in the day
Before I learned to stand tall
I had to get my knee scraped before I learned to never fall
Cause you deserve better- trust me I know
Sometimes I hate you
Sometimes I hope it shows
And you deserve
Anybody but me
Cause what you want and what you need are two
Completely different things
Cause what you want and what you need
And what you want and what you need
Is anyone
Anyone but me
