I  wish I could be..........anybody  but me.
I  wish I could be..........anybody  but me.
Lonely, lonely  as I can be.
Well,  I had a true love..........had  the world in
 my hands.
 Now I got a hurt.........I  can't hardly stand.
 A little bit of loving....would  be so grand.
I'm  not the same old me..........that  I used to be.
I  wanna be somebody.........just  anybody but me.
I  got the blues on my mind.....blues  won't let me be.
 (INTERLUDE:) .. //  (x2) //.. // //
Now  I wanna be free..........from  what's holding me.
Take  away these tears.......take  away these tears..
 and let me see.
 Cause I wanna be back..like  I use to be.
I  said, I wish I could be.........yeah,  anybody but me.
Yeah,  now I wanna be.........just,  any old body but me.
 Because I'm lonely......lonely  as I can be.
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
