Elton John - Not Me lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by tim rice

Elton's solo version is unreleased

I once knew all the answers, I stood on certain ground

A picture of true happiness, confidence so effortless

No brighter could be found

I never asked the questions that trouble me today

I knew all there was to know, love worn lightly, put on show

A conquest on display

And who would have thought his love could be so good

Not me, not me

My secrets and my passions understood

Not me, not me

Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away

To be with someone till his dying day

Not me, not me

I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they share

An empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess

I need some comfort there

And who would have thought his love could be so good

Not me, not me

My secrets and my passions understood

Not me, not me

Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away

To be with someone till his dying day

Not me, not me

But not me, oh not me
