Paul McCartney The Other Me lyrics

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 second though to what the consequence might be
I really wouldn't be surprised if you were trying to find another me

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

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 every time 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

The other me would rather be the glad one
Yeah, 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

But if I ever hurt you

Well, you know that it's not real
It's no easy living by yourself
So imagine how I feel

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

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

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, ooh
