I know a man who tries too hard
Cause he wants to be liked both near and far
But it's not all that simple a story to tell
And I'm sure it all started way back when
He was only a child
The whole world laying ahead of him
He couldn't get what he craved
An uphill battle awaited
Then something clicked inside
Maybe he's okay
Not quite as bad as he seems
Am I expecting too much
It's not intentionally
Maybe it isn't polite
Looking so critically
Maybe I do it because
He's just not like me
I know a man who talks so much
He's got nothing to say but it's never enough
And it's like second nature he's as social can be
But the topic is always strictly 'me'
From his self-centered view
His egoist perspective
Subject of interest he's found
His world revolving around him
The real one beyond his touch
Along with people there too
Please won't you understand
I don't want every man
Doing just what I would do
Or moving the way that I move
Or the way that I sit or stand
Maybe he's okay
Not quite as bad as he seems
Am I expecting too much
It's not intentionally
Maybe it isn't polite
Looking so critically
Maybe I do it because
He's just not like me
Not Like Me
