The Man I Used To Be Lyrics
Searching high
Searching low
Searching where the four winds do blow
Looking inside and outside of me
For the man I used to be
Roll up your bed
Coz morning’s dead
Time to unload your head
Pour yourself a coffee
Smoke a cigarette
Even though it’s not politically correct
Sit down comfortably
In this room there’s only you and me
And tell me about the man I used to me
Yeah tell me about the man I used to me
I’ll listen carefully
As you rewind your memory
And tell me about the man I used to be
Yeah tell me about the man I used to be
Time has gone by
It sure does fly
And everything must change
No one can stay the same
In the pouring rain
Sometimes we may seem decidedly weird and strange
You say I used to smile more
And that I seemed looking for
Someone to share my heart
That my eyes were brighter
And my teeth were whiter
And that’s just for a start
I’ve put on some weight
In fact I don’t look in a healthy state
My face shows all my troubles and strife
And that I don’t care how I look
And I stopped to read books
It’s like I’ve given up on life
Searching high
Searching low
Searching where the four winds do blow
Looking inside and outside of me
For the man I used to be
Okay my dear
I think I hear
That what you say is clear
I myself don’t agree
That I’m so diff’rent
I’ll tell you how you are though probably shouldn’t
Sit down comfortably
In this room there’s only you and me
I’ll tell you about the woman you used to be
I’ll tell you about the woman you used to be
Just listen carefully
As I rewind my memory
And tell you about the woman you used to be
Yeah I’ll tell you about the woman you used to be
