You think I've got it all
Everyone thinks I've got it made, well
How come my only friends
Are the ones I pay?
No one understands
What I would do to change my life
For just one day
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what to do
How things would be if you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me
You know what I need
And it's not another serenade
I get so tired of
All the things you say
Give me what I want
If it only would I'd gladly
Throw this all away
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what to do
How things would be if you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me
Please take me as I am (take me as I am)
This isn't what I planned
I guess I don't expect that
You could understand
'Cause you're not me
I know you think you're being nice
But spare me all your lame advice
Time to play my hand and roll the dice
Everybody's got their price
For far too long I've been denied
I'm making my move, so just step aside
No one can say I never tried
To do everything to get back my pride
Yeah, you were never me
Why can't you see
That you're not me
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what to do
How things would be if you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me
Please, help me if you can (help me if you can)
This isn't what I planned
Guess I don't expect that
You could understand
'Cause you're not me
