That's Not Me Songtext

von Beach Boys

I had to prove that I could make it alone now
But that's not me
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
But that's not me
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
What matters to me is just what I could be
To just one girl

I'm a little bit scared 'cause I haven't been home in a long time
You need my love and I know that I left at the wrong time

My folks when I wrote them and told what I was up to
Said that's not me
I went through all kinds of changes, took a look at myself
And said that's notm e
I missed my pad and the places I've known
And every night as I lay there alone
I would dream

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready (?)
I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
(repeat to fade)
