Not . . .

. . . like me . . .


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 'bout '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.
