I Had To Be Me Songtext
von Ricochet

All I had to do was take her by the hand and tell her
I was sorry for bein′ stupid and actin' jealous
All I had to do was ask her not to leave
But I had to be me

All I had to do was run to the car and stop her
Reach my hand in and grab the key and kill the motor
Take her in my arms right there on the street
But I had to be me

Standin′ like a statue, like it'd kill me if I had to let her see
The slightest of emotion, lay my heart wide open
Show her I could be the man she really needs
But I had to be me


All I had to do was pick up the phone and call her
When I got her on the line, take my pride and swallow
Instead of hangin' up before the second ring
But I had to be me

All I had to do tonight downtown when i saw her
Was just walk up and give her the flowers that I bought her
Instead of actin′ like I didn′t even see
But I had to be me

Standin' like a statue, like it′d kill me if I had to let her see
The slightest of emotion, lay my heart wide open
Show her I could be the man she really needs
But I had to be me

I had to be me
I had to be me
