lyrics

-VERSE-
I’m no rich man,
I’m no poor man,
I’m just a guy who plays the guitar.
Will you listen,
If I tell you,
What you want to hear?

I’m no doctor,
I’m no lawyer,
I just wanted to get to know you.
If I sit here,
Will you ignore,
Everyone but me?

-CHORUS-
I’m not trying to be myself,
‘Cause that’s what I do every day.
I’m not really expecting truth from you.

I don’t want to talk about your date and hear his new wave band.
I’m just trying to get to know you.

-VERSE-
I’m not too old,
I’m not too young,
I won’t tell you, “age is just a number!”
Because you know,
That is something,
That old people say.

I’m not famous,
I’m not unknown,
I once played in thousand-seat arenas!
Are you doubting,
All my stories?
It’s all part of the game.

-CHORUS-
I’m not trying to be myself,
‘Cause that’s what I do every day.
I’m not really expecting truth from you.

I don’t want to talk about how much you hate your new best friend.
I’m just trying to get to know you.

-CHORUS-
I’m not trying to be myself,
‘Cause that’s what I do every day.
I’m not really expecting truth from you.

I don’t want to talk about your mom’s life in the government.
I’m just trying to get to know you.
