Gerry Rafferty - Next To Me lyrics

Each day you try on a different person

Trying to find out who you really are

Now I think I have a way of knowing

When I'm very close I'm not too far.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm

I don't know just when I really found me

Times I wonder why it took so long

Only thing I know is deep inside me

When I'm there it makes me feel so strong.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm

(...with ELO-sounding backing vocals...)

Each day you try on a different person

Trying to find out who you really are

Now I think I have a way of knowing

When I'm very close I'm not too far.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm
