More Like Me

I want to be more like me

I want to be what I'm supposed to be

I want to do all the things I'm supposed to do

I want to know what's really real

Get a feel for the deal

And then I kinda got a feelin'

I won't have no feelin's for you

You meant everything to me

But now your memory won't set me free

And so I need to make peace with my feelin's for you

Cause they say that when you're dead you're done

That's a race, that's done been run

I want to have some fun

Before my time is through

Ain't studied on the Buddhists

It's on my "to do" list

I'll get around to it somehow

That chanting sounds like humming

They must be onto something

The main thing they got to say is

"Baby, be here now"

And so it seems to me

That the future's never plain to see

You got to fake it 'til you make it

And you can't change the past, no-how

I'm goin' ahead and get on the right track

'Cause it's a natural fact

There's no time like the present

Talkin' 'bout right now

Everything was groovy

Like something in a movie

Don't you know we had it goin' on

Then you up and left me

Yeah, that upset me

But now I know it's always darkest

Right before the dawn

And so it seems to me

That the past is history

The future is a mystery

And the time is now

To go ahead and get on the right track

Let me tell you Jack

You got to fake it 'til you make it

And it don't hurt to shake it, no-how

That's right

If you shake it, don't break it

When you make it, you can take a bow

I want to be more like me

And I'm startin' right now

Wow
