Paul McCartney
The Other Me
[Verse 1]
I know I was a crazy fool
For treating you the way I did
But something took 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

[Chorus]
'Cause the other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule

[Verse 2]
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 everytime 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
Hmm, hm-hm
[Chorus]
The other me would rather be the glad one
Yeah, the other me would rather play the fool
Said I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I wish that I could take it back
I'd like to make a different mood
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

[Chorus]
And the other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
But I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Da-da-da, tss, da-da-da, tss, na-na
Tss tss tss tss tss
Na-na-na, tss, na-na-na, tss, na-na-na
Tss tss tss tss tss
Na-na-na, tss, na-na-na, tss
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na

[Chorus]
The other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
And I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule
Yeah, ooh-nah
