The Beach Boys - That's Not Me (Stereo) lyrics

I had to prove that I could make it alone But that's not me I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now But that's not me I could try to be big in the eyes of the world What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl I'm a little bit scared Cause I haven't been home in a long time You needed my love And I know that I left at the wrong time My folks when I wrote them Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me I went through all kinds of changes Took a look at myself and said that's not me I miss my pad and the places I've known And every night as I lay there alone I will dream I once had a dream So I packed up and split for the city I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready I once had a dream So I packed up and split for the city I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty I once had a dream So I packed up and split for the city I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
