Lyrics

I Don't Want To Be The One
words & music by Joe Chinnici c2004

Do you see me?
I?m the blind man looking at his cane
Do you hear me?
I?m the little deaf girl listening to the rain
I want to be anything appreciated
I want to be everything that?s overrated

I don?t want to be the one to make you mad
I don?t want to be the one to make you oh so sad
I don?t want to be the one to kick you when you?re down
I just want to be the best friend you have around

Do you see me?
I?m the cripple walking in the field
Do you hear me?
I?m the little boy screaming on the Ferris wheel
I want to be anything appreciated
I want to be everything that ain?t been jaded

I don?t want to be the one to make you mad
I don?t want to be the one to make you oh so sad
I don?t want to be the one to kick you when you?re down
I just want to be the best friend you have around

It seems so simple
To be the person that I long for me to be
To hold onto the things that I?ve become
To be the person that you see, with everything to give inside of me

I don?t want to be the one to make you mad
I don?t want to be the one to make you oh so sad
I don?t want to be the one to kick you when you?re down
I don?t want to be the one that?s always hangin? ?round
I don?t want to be the one that never has a sound
I just want to be the best friend you?ve ever found
