Let Me Be

from Familiar Strangers by New Town Jack

lyrics

Let me be
The nothing I want to be
Let me be
The nothing I want to be

I don't want to have
A fancy ride
A good job with you by my side
I don't want you
So let me be

I don't care you if you love me
Or just want to help me out
I'm not some jigsaw puzzle
For you to figure out

I've tried your friendly nature
On a home town bus ride
It took the bus 2 seconds
To see through my smile

Let me be
The nothing I want to be
Let me be
The nothing I want to be

Ive been down this hole so very long
I just cant picture it all gone
I dont want you
So let me be

I don't want to be the gentleman
That takes you out at night,
I've tried the top hats baby
And none of them feel right

I saw an old lady,
Trying to get out of the rain,
I held the door and I hit the floor,
When the crowd behind her came,

Let me be
The nothing I want to be
Let me be
The nothing I want to be

I'd rather spend time with my friends
And all the other skeletons
I don't want you
So let me be

I dreamt the other night,
I picked you up at yours,
I drove to your mansion,
And i walked to your front door,
The butler showed me in,
To the maze by the east wing,
a g entleman passed in the mirror,
And I heard a woman sing

I want you
To be with me
I want you
To be with me
I want a dreaming man
Who will take me by the hand
So dream man
And come on get me

Let me be
The nothing I want to be
Let me be
The nothing I want to be

I don't want to think of you at night
To think how I could hold you tight
I don't want you
So let me be
