Paul McCartney - The Other Me lyrics

I know I was a crazy fool

For treating you the way I did

But something got a hold of me

And I acted like a dustbin lid

I didn't give a second thought

To what the consequence might be

I really wouldn't be surprised

If you were trying to find another me

'Cause the other me would rather be the glad one

The other me would rather play the fool

I wanna be the kind of me that doesn't let you down as a rule

I know it doesn't take a lot

To have a little self-control

But every time that I forgot

Well, I landed in another hole

But ev'rytime you pull me out

I find it harder not to see

That we can build a better life

If I can try to find the other me, mm-mm

The other me would rather be the glad one

Yeah, the other me would rather play the fool

Said, I wanna be the kind of me that doesn't let you down as a rule

But if I ever hurt you

Well, you know that it's not real

It's not easy living by yourself

So imagine how I feel

I wish that I could take it back

I'd like to make a different mod

And if you let me try again

I'll have a better attitude

Well, I know that one and one makes two

And that's what I want us to be

I really would appreciate it if you'd help me find the other me

Well, the other me would rather be the glad one

The other me rather play the fool

But I wanna be the kind of me that doesn't let you down as a rule

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

The other me would rather be the glad one

And the other me would rather play the fool

And I wanna be the kind of me who doesn't let you down as a rule
